Hi there,

I have performed some pool operations (namely removing a mirror) which resulted in the feature device_removal to become active. This will never switch back to enabled though and now grub fails:
grub-core/fs/zfs/zfs.c:1131: feature missing in check_pool_label:com.delphix:device_removal

Any idea if that feature could be whitelisted in grub, or would that be dangerous?
 
I am currently rebuilding grub with
Code:

I think the feature should be save, we will see :)
