Public bug reported: I installed ZFS using the 19.10 installer and ran into some severe load caused by /etc/zfs/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh
Microk8s, due to the way containerd manages container filesystems, causes numerous zevents and can easily overwhelm the above script. I filed a ticket and partial fix to ZOL team, however in response Richard Elling recommended not using that feature. * "it is not core to zfs operation, it is an attempt at optimization that few people know about, and even fewer use" * "zed is allowed to drop events under load, so it might not be called and therefore the cache cannot be authoritative" https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/9584 I'm providing this feedback to you so you can make changes to the Ubuntu installer to not enable this zfs feature.
