Public bug reported: I have a system with a root ZFS pool that's DEGRADED:
$ zpool status -v pool: rpool state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected. action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'. see: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/msg/ZFS-8000-9P config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool DEGRADED 0 0 0 sda1 DEGRADED 0 0 0 too many errors errors: No known data errors In this state, "grub-install" will fail: grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `rpool/grub'.
