Sorry, but this is ridiculous. After the upgrade to 19.10, the system worked fine for a week. I should export/import ~700 GB of data to get an standard update working? Why should your advice help this time? If I'm stupid enough to move 700GB of data around, I will probably have the same problem again with the next zfs update.
With my 40 years of ICT experience as OS designer, department manager and chief architect of Eurocontrol (the European FAA), I would say that your upgrade process should be so robust, that it can at least handle a normal datapool, like hp-data with normal datasets. I do not remember having these problems with 18.04 on my laptop or 19.04 on my desktop. If Canonical can't solve this problem, I can't use 19.10 and I will stay on 19.04 for my Ryzen/VEGA desktop. For my laptop I consider; - ignore the error messages after updates and run ZFS without those bugfixes. - install 18.04 again - re-installing 19.10 in e.g November/December by copying it from ext4 or from an official ZFS install on an USB disk, since ZFS itself is working fine, only the ZFS update process fucks up. - Install Pop! OS, that would be the first non-Ubuntu distro I use since 2008. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846424 Title: 19.10 ZFS Update failed on 2019-10-02 Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: On all my systems the update from zfs-initrams_0.8.1-1ubuntu12_amd64.deb failed the same is true for zfs-zed and zfsutils-linux.
