Package: partman-zfs Version: 14 Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi,
I just tried to install Debian/kFreeBSD using yesterday's netinst.iso from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/unstable/current/kfreebsd-amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso. I had intended to use zfs as my rootfs, with the rpool itself being mounted under / and perhaps /var, /usr and /tmp being separate zfs filesystems (not volumes), so I could set different options on them. There is apparently no way in the current installer to do this. The squeeze installer allowed me to set a partition to "use as: zfs", and I could specify a mountpoint. Now, I can set it to "physical volume for zfs" and I can enter "configure zfs" which allows me to create a pool. So far, so good - but there is no way to specify the mountpoint for the pool, or to create filesystems (not volumes) inside it. Even switching to the 2nd console and setting up the mountpoints/filesystems there doesn't help, because the partitioner doesn't realise /target has just become a mountpoint and won't let the installation continue (it'd be nice if there were a way to override that). Justification for "important" severity: the bug makes the package almost unusable (I'd say most people who want / on zfs don't need/want volumes).
