ZFS is already architecturally unclean, in that it means that /etc/fstab no longer describes the set of standardly mounted filesystems. (I was not aware of this property of ZFS; I find it astonishing - and depressing - that nobody built a shim to fix it. That would be one of the first things I would do if I were setting up such a thing.) >> And somewhat related that came out of this discussion - add a >> "noerror" or "notfatal" or some similar keyword [...] >> Although Ignatios had an interesting solution to this with "noauto" >> and using @reboot crontab entries. > Sure, you work around the lack of the feature, but that doesn't mean > a simpler way is bad.
