This looks a lot like an issue with zfs-linux to me (and *maybe* systemd, not sure about this).
The issue is that the snaps are on /var/lib/snapd/snaps and snapd writes mount units into /etc/systemd/system/ so that the snaps are mounted under /snap/<snapname>/<rev>. Looking at a zfs-linux system and the "mount" output /var/lib is mounted: $ mount |grep var/lib rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_azzm5v/var/lib on /var/lib type zfs (rw,relatime,xattr,posixacl) and the systemd unit for this mount point is auto-generated: $ systemctl status var-lib.mount var-lib.mount - /var/lib Loaded: loaded (/proc/self/mountinfo) Active: active (mounted) since Tue 2021-04-06 16:38:58 CEST; 19min ago Where: /var/lib What: rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_azzm5v/var/lib Systemd should order mounts so that var-lib.mount is mounted before What=/var/lib/snapd/... is used. I see a zfs-generator in the zfs-linux source tree that looks like it should generator the mount entries from the pool. However nothing generated in /run/systemd/generator: $ find /run/systemd/generator /run/systemd/generator /run/systemd/generator/netplan.stamp /run/systemd/generator/openvpn.service.wants /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.wants /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.wants/systemd-remount-fs.service /run/systemd/generator/swap.target.requires /run/systemd/generator/swap.target.requires/dev-disk-by\x2duuid-9c43c866\x2dbe89\x2d499c\x2d9300\x2d098d5dcb0509.swap /run/systemd/generator/dev-disk-by\x2duuid-9c43c866\x2dbe89\x2d499c\x2d9300\x2d098d5dcb0509.swap /run/systemd/generator/boot-grub.mount /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.requires /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.requires/boot-grub.mount /run/systemd/generator/local-fs.target.requires/boot-efi.mount /run/systemd/generator/boot-efi.mount We could easily workaround this via Pawels approach above but I feel this will affect more than snapd. Everyone who wants to mount anyting under /var/lib will be affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922293 Title: Snaps appear broken on 21.04 Beta with ZFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1922293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
