Hello,

I'm having an issue while upgrading zfsutils at the last version.
The problem appears to be the same as the thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/23002-After-Upgrade-ZFS-pool-gone?p=116703&posted=1


I issued the apt-get update, synced the repos without any error, then issued apt-get upgrade, and while updating the last packages I got the error on zfsutils

Code: 
etting up zfsutils (0.6.4-4~wheezy) ...
insserv: There is a loop between service zfs-mount and zfs-zed if stopped
insserv:  loop involving service zfs-zed at depth 5
insserv:  loop involving service zfs-import at depth 4
insserv:  loop involving service umountfs at depth 7
insserv:  loop involving service zfs-mount at depth 15
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing zfsutils (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of zfs-initramfs:
 zfs-initramfs depends on zfsutils; however:
  Package zfsutils is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing zfs-initramfs (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-40-pve
Errors were encountered while processing:
 zfsutils
 zfs-initramfs
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I still have to reboot the machine after the upgrade but I actually cannot suffer a down of many hours.


My configuration consist in a single raidz-3 pool with 9 disks, shared between data and VM disks.

the solution in the thread I linked before was not useful for me, so I am still facing the problem.

Thank you in advance
Best regards

Just had the same issue myself and apparently fixed it. This was related to the ZFS mounting workaround
pve.proxmox.com /wiki/Storage:_ZFS
and specifically adding zfs-mount to the local_fs target. The new zfsutils introduced extra scripts - zfs-import, zfs-zed, and that's what we have - zfs-mount now depends on zfs-import, zfs-import depends on zfs-zed and zfs-zed depends on local-fs target which includes zfs-import, for we told it so.

What I've done in my system to solve this is a) remove zfs-mount from local_fs definition in /etc/insserv.conf ; b) Update the new zfs-mount with "Default-Start: S" and "chkconfig: S 06 99", after which everything ran smoothly.
 
Hi mpond,

as you said it was due to the zfs mounting workaround, with the changes you suggested I was able to complete the update and reboot the machine without any trouble.

So the thread is solved, thanks to you.

Thank you very much again!
Best regards
