It seems like this may no longer be the case. In fact, a recent upgrade on my system removed zfs-zed, which seems like maybe a mistake since the zsys-setup script still seems to expect it.

Having it on disk would be ok, but IMHO there is no reason this daemon needs to run until the first ZFS element is created. ● zfs-zed.service - ZFS Event Daemon (zed) Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zfs-zed.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Thu 2018-11-29 16:09:04 UTC; 3min 26s ago Docs: man:zed(8) Main PID: 2968 (zed) Tasks: 2 (limit: 546) Memory: 436.0K CGroup: /system.slice/zfs-zed.service └─2968 /usr/sbin/zed -F Nov 29 16:09:04 disco-zfstest systemd[1]: Started ZFS Event Daemon (zed).

Further than the general "not too much default daemons" there are a few issues like [1] which makes this worse if one is affected. There is no related upstream feature yet that I'd know of, nor did I find a trivial way to e.g. match a systemd unit Condition (which also is only evaluated only once, so it would miss later zfs creation) or a socket (what would it wait for). I wanted to ask here if you'd have more/better ideas or if we should directly file this upstream and then link that bug here?
