On Ubuntu 19.10, with ZFS root and zfs-auto-snapshot, /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs was scanning every single snapshot whenever update-grub was invoked.
This is a simple patch that just exits the get_dataset_info() function if the dataset is a snapshot. I could be missing something, but I don't expect we want to be finding kernel & initrd images on snapshots under normal circumstances. ** Patch added: "Simple four line patch I created that solved my issue" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1848856/+attachment/5323115/+files/grub-common-2.04-1ubuntu12.1.dont_scan_snapshots-brianfinley.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848856 Title: zfs on root fails with grub syntax error with multidisks pools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1848856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
