Package: partman-zfs
Version: 42
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable for ZFS-based install
(which is probably the reason someone is trying Debian/kFreeBSD .. to
use ZFS)
Dear Maintainer,
Tried the 2015-01-12 nightly mini.iso Jessie image. In the partition
setup via "expert" install, selected all disks to use with ZFS --
partitioned 3 drives into three partitions (see below for scheme) --
then proceeded to create two ZFS pools from these, a "b" pool from
partition 1 as a mirror across three drives, then a "z" pool from
partition 2 as raidz across three drives. It happily did all this,
installed the base system, etc...

But installing Grub failed with "unknown filesystem". In
troubleshooting the issue, it seems grub2 (version currently is
2.02~beta2-19) does not recognize the "feature@lz4_compress" option (and
had been previously reported) of the ZFS pools that kFreeBSD kernel 10.1
creates. And there's no way to disable it once the pool is created.
What I ended up doing is recreating everything again, this time
interrupting and adding the "-d" flag to the pool creation command (done
manually) to leave all the feature@* options disabled for building the
system.
This worked. Installation of Grub as the boot loader was successful and
the system booted using /boot (and /lib/modules) as volumes on the "b"
pool, which is a simple ZFS mirror.
Please consider adding the "-d" flag in partman-zfs for Jessie, i.e.,
# zpool create -d "pool" <dev-spec>
And then perhaps turning on feature@ flags that are known to work with
grub for booting.
Here's what my pools look like right now and all is well:
