Public bug reported:
Currently, in Ubuntu 16.04, the package libnvpair1linux puts
libnvpair.so.1 in /usr/lib/, however, tools like zpool and zfs which are
installed in /sbin/ need this library. According to the FHS this means
the required libraries should be in /lib/ in order to allow the user to
install /usr/ on a separate partition that is not immediately available
after boot.
This turns out to be a problem indeed. On one of my systems I had /usr/
on a ZFS filesystem (and /, /lib/, /sbin/, /bin/ on a separate ext4
partition). However, the system failed to boot: it hung while mounting
the ZFS partitions which failed because zpool import didn't work as it
couldn't find libnvpair.so.1.
