Public bug reported: When installing zfs on Ubuntu 16.04, official wiki instructs you to
sudo apt install zfs zfs points to zfsutils-linux. /etc/hostid remains missing after installation. It will cause issues, when importing zfs pool after restart. Oct 4 07:07:13 ****** kernel: [25947.708287] SPL: The /etc/hostid file is not found. Oct 4 07:07:13 ****** kernel: [25947.708292] SPL: using hostid 0x00000000 /etc/hostid is generated by package spl, on which zfsutils-linux should depend on.
