Bug 548596 – sys-fs/zfs-0.6.4: Dracut scripts missing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Corin Lawson 2015-05-04 14:33:04 UTC]

Upon merging the recent zfs-0.6.4.ebuild the following expected scripts where missing:
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs/module-setup.sh
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs/mount-zfs.sh
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs/export-zfs.sh
/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs/parse-zfs.sh



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =sys-fs/zfs-0.6.4
2.ls /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs

Actual Results:  
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90zfs: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
export-zfs.sh
module-setup.sh
mount-zfs.sh
parse-zfs.sh


Adding the following line (~line 85) to src_configure function produces the expected results:
  --with-dracutdir="/usr/$(get_libdir)/dracut"

"/usr/$(get_libdir)/dracut" is incorrect. dracut is always installed under /usr/lib/dracut, regardless of the value of LIBDIR.

Thanks Mike, I wasn't sure as I just copied that line from zfs-9999.ebuild...

This also bit me, twice. Once on initial install of a new server. Then after a portage update caused the zfs-0.6.4.ebuild to be restored to the original, (and new kernel then failed to boot). Nothing serious for me, just wanted to add my 2 cents worth to request upstream EBuild fix. Same hardware, AMD64 Linux.

Created attachment 407368 [details, diff]
adding dracut config if USE-flag is set

please add a USE-flag `dracut` for dracut-module support.

This is a regression from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478684 where this bug was already fixed.  According to ryao, "the new policy on small files, the dracut module is installed unconditionally," without needing a USE flag.

This was fixed in the 0.6.5 ebuild. I will try to do a revision to fix it in the older ebuilds.

[Comment 7 Georgy Yakovlev 2018-03-12 16:36:00 UTC]

this has been fixed in all in-tree ebuilds
