zfsutils error: unable to read zfs.target

[azeemism]

Hi,

Regarding the dailies version of zfs: 0.6.3-222d9d57jessie

When installing zfsutils (0.6.3-222d9d57jessie) to a VirtualBox instance of Debian Jessie, I receive the following error (repeated twice):

/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: unable to read zfs.target

I am not sure if this is okay to ignore. Only related info I found was at these two links:

http://www.mattzone.com/zfsonlinux/zfsonlinux_20141015.html
https://groups.google.com/a/zfsonlinux.org/forum/#!topic/zfs-discuss/NdjlJBEqc10

init-system-helpers version installed is 1.22.

Not sure it this is related, but I also find that with a dailies install, /usr/lib/systemd/system/ is created with the following files:

zfs.target
zfs-share.service
zfs-mount.service
zfs-import-scan.service
zfs-import-cache service
zed.service

Thanks for all that you do,

Azeem

I should also mention that when the non-dailies version of zfs is installed (v0.6.3-766_gfde0d6d), the following services do not exist on the system:

zfs.target
zfs-import-scan.service
zfs-import-cache service

And zfs-mount.service and zfs-share.service are located in different places

find / -name zfs-*.service

/run/systemd/generator.late/
/run/systemd/generator.late/runlevel5.target.wants/
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/system.slice/

Where is zfs.target supposed to go if not in /usr/lib/systemd/system?

[FransUrbo]

@azeemism I just created a new version for jessie-daily. If that also give the problem with can't find zfs.target, could you try moving all zfs/zed files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /lib/systemd/system and try again?

If the later works, let me know and I'll move them in the package to...

[azeemism]

@FransUrbo Unfortunately installing the new dailies (0.6.3-236466b6jessie) did not fix the issue.

However, your suggestion to moving the files was successful

from: /usr/lib/systemd/system
to: /lib/systemd/system

/usr/lib/systemd/system only has zfs/zed files

mv /usr/lib/systemd/system/* /lib/systemd/system/
apt-get install --reinstall zfsutils

Now the install processed as follows without any errors:

...
setting up zfsutils (0.6.3-236466b6jessie)
processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.116)
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64

I really appreciate your support.

Can I close this issue?

Awesome! I'll create a new package with them there instead then. Thanx for testing!
/usr/lib/systemd/system only has zfs/zed files

Yes, that's also 'mine' (from the ZoL packages). I'll move that as well then.
Can I close this issue?

Sure. It's not technically fixed, but it will be in a couple of hours once I've uploaded the new packages...=

Excellent! It's good to work with a nice team.
...1 down, will now have another look at getting efi to work.
