Base init scripts for SYSV systems
* Based on the init scripts included with Debian GNU/Linux, then take code from the already existing ones, trying to merge them into one set of scripts that will work for 'everyone' for better maintainability. * Add configurable variables to control the workings of the init scripts: * ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP Set a sleep time before we load the module (used primarily by initrd scripts to allow for slower media (such as USB devices etc) to be availible before we load the zfs module). * ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP Set a timed sleep in the initrd to after the load of the zfs module. * ZFS_INITRD_ADDITIONAL_DATASETS To allow for mounting additional datasets in the initrd. Primarily used in initrd scripts to allow for when filesystem needed to boot (such as /usr, /opt, /var etc) isn't directly under the root dataset. * ZFS_POOL_EXCEPTIONS Exclude pools from being imported (in the initrd and/or init scripts). * ZFS_DKMS_ENABLE_DEBUG, ZFS_DKMS_ENABLE_DEBUG_DMU_TX, ZFS_DKMS_DISABLE_STRIP Set to control how dkms should build the dkms packages. * ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH Set path(s) where "zpool import" should import pools from. This was previously the job of "USE_DISK_BY_ID" (which is still used for backwards compatibility) but was renamed to allow for better control of import path(s). * If old USE_DISK_BY_ID is set, but not new ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH, then we set ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH to sane defaults just to be on the safe side. * ZED_ARGS To allow for local options to zed without having to change the init script. * The import function, do_import(), imports pools by name instead of '-a' for better control of pools to import and from where. * If USE_DISK_BY_ID is set (for backwards compatibility), but isn't 'yes' then ignore it. * If pool(s) isn't found with a simple "zpool import" (seen it happen), try looking for them in /dev/disk/by-id (if it exists). Any duplicates (pools found with both commands) is filtered out. * IF we have found extra pool(s) this way, we must force USE_DISK_BY_ID so that the first, simple "zpool import $pool" is able to find it. * Fallback on importing the pool using the cache file (if it exists) only if 'simple' import (either with ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH or the 'built in' defaults) didn't work. * The export function, do_export(), will export all pools imported, EXCEPT the root pool (if there is one). * ZED script from the Debian GNU/Linux packages added. * Refreshed ZED init script from behlendorf@5e7a660 to be portable so it may be used on both LSB and Redhat style systems. * If there is no pool(s) imported and zed successfully shut down, we will unload the zfs modules. * The function library file for the ZoL init script is installed as /etc/init.d/zfs-functions. * The four init scripts, the /etc/{defaults,sysconfig,conf.d}/zfs config file as well as the common function library is tagged as '%config(noreplace)' in the rpm rules file to make sure they are not replaced automatically if locally modifed. * Pitfals and workarounds: * If we're running from init, remove stale /etc/dfs/sharetab before importing pools in the zfs-import init script. * On Debian GNU/Linux, there's a 'sendsigs' script that will kill basically everything quite early in the shutdown phase and zed is/should be stopped much later than that. We don't want zed to be among the ones killed, so add the zed pid to list of pids for 'sendsigs' to ignore. * CentOS uses echo_success() and echo_failure() to print out status of command. These in turn uses "echo -n \0xx[etc]" to move cursor and choose colour etc. This doesn't work with the modified IFS variable we need to use in zfs-import for some reason, so work around that when we define zfs_log_{end,failure}_msg() for RedHat and derivative distributions. * All scripts passes ShellCheck (with one false positive in do_mount()).

+DESCRIPTION
+ These script were written with the primary intention of being portable and
+ usable on as many systems as possible.
+
+ This is, in practice, usually not possible. But the intention is there.
+ And it is a good one.
+
+ They have been tested successfully on:
+
+ * Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy
+ * Debian GNU/Linux Jessie
+ * Ubuntu Trusty
+ * CentOS 6.0
+ * CentOS 6.6
+ * Gentoo
+
+SUPPORT
+ If you find that they don't work for your platform, please report this
+ at the ZFS On Linux issue tracker at https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues.
+
+ Please include:
+
+ * Distribution name
+ * Distribution version
+ * Where to find an install CD image
+ * Architecture
+
+ If you have code to share that fixes the problem, that is much better.
+ But please remember to try your best keep portability in mind. If you
+ suspect that what you're writing/modifying won't work on anything else
+ than your distribution, please make sure to put that code in appropriate
+ if/else/fi code.
+
+ It currently MUST be bash (or fully compatible) for this to work.
+
+ If you're making your own distribution and you want the scripts to
+ work on that, the biggest problem you'll (probably) have is the part
+ at the beginning of the "zfs-functions.in" file which sets up the
+ logging output.
+
+INSTALLING INIT SCRIPT LINKS
+ To setup the init script links in /etc/rc?.d manually on a Debian GNU/Linux
+ (or derived) system, run the following commands (the order is important!):
+
+ update-rc.d zfs-zed start 07 S . stop 08 0 1 6 .
+ update-rc.d zfs-import start 07 S . stop 07 0 1 6 .
+ update-rc.d zfs-mount start 02 2 3 4 5 . stop 06 0 1 6 .
+ update-rc.d zfs-share start 27 2 3 4 5 . stop 05 0 1 6 .
+
+ To do the same on RedHat, Fedora and/or CentOS:
+
+ chkconfig zfs-zed
+ chkconfig zfs-import
+ chkconfig zfs-mount
+ chkconfig zfs-share
+
+ On Gentoo:
+
+ rc-update add zfs-zed boot
+ rc-update add zfs-import boot
+ rc-update add zfs-mount boot
+ rc-update add zfs-share default
+
+
+ The idea here is to make sure ZED is started before the imports (so that
+ we can start consuming pool events before pools are imported).
+
+ Then import any/all pools (except the root pool which is mounted in the
+ initrd before the system even boots - basically before the S (single-user)
+ mode).
+
+ Then we mount all filesystems before we start any network service (such as
+ NFSd, AFSd, Samba, iSCSI targets and what not). Even if the share* in ZFS
+ isn't used, the filesystem must be mounted for the service to start properly.
+
+ Then, at almost the very end, we share filesystems configured with the
+ share* property in ZFS.
