Public bug reported: Per https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/issues/221: the initramfs zfs script might overrule canmount and mountpoint options for a dataset, causing other mount operations and with them the boot process to fail.
Experienced this with Ubuntu Zesty. Xenial seems to ship with a different zfs script for the initrd. Work around when it happens: unmount the dataset that should not be mounted, and exit the initramfs rescue prompt to resume booting. ** Affects: zfs-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: zesty ** Description changed: Per https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/issues/221: the initramfs zfs script might overrule canmount and mountpoint options for a dataset, causing other mount operations and with them the boot process to fail.
