Compiling with 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed' exposed the fact that
there were some library linking problems introduced by mount_zfs.
In particular, the libzfs library does use nvpair symbols, and
mount_zfs contains no dependencies on libzpool.

New versions glibc declare getcwd() with the warn_unused_result attribute.
This results in a warning because the updated mount helper was not
checking this return value. This issue was fixed by checking the return
type and in the case of an error simply returning the passed dataset.
One possible, but unlikely, error would be having your cwd directory
unlinked while the mount command was running.
cmd/mount_zfs/mount_zfs.c: In function ‘parse_dataset’:
cmd/mount_zfs/mount_zfs.c:223:2: error: ignoring return value of
‘getcwd’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed. Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things. Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway. I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.
The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.
Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script. Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.
This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.
When updating /etc/mtab we should be careful and strip certain
options. In particular, we need to strip 'zfsutil' because if
we don't the mount utility will helpfull provide it to the
mount helper when we issue mount(8) again. This subverts the
check that the caller is zfs(8) and not mount(8).
Allow the mount(8) utility to always operate on all datasets when
remounting them read-only. This critical for rc.sysinit/umountroot
which remounts the root filesystem read-only during shutdown to
ensure everything is correctly flushed to disk.
Fix minor typo, the check to set zfsutil should use the bitwise
'&'. I must have accidentally hit the adjacent '*' and obviously
neither the compiler or my code review caught this. Fix it now.
When run with a root '/' cwd the mount.zfs helper would strip not
only the '/' but also the next character from the dataset name.
For example, '/tank' was changed to 'ank' instead of just 'tank'.
Originally, this was done for the '/tmp' cwd case where we needed
to strip the '/' following the cwd. For example '/tmp/tank' needed
to remove the '/tmp' cwd plus 1 character for the '/'.
This change fixes the problem by checking the cwd and if it ends in
a '/' it does not strip and extra character. Otherwise it will strip
the next character. I believe this should only ever be true for the
root directory.
Closes#148
Several issues related to strange mount/umount behavior were reported
and this commit should address most of them. The original idea was
to put in place a zfs mount helper (mount.zfs). This helper is used
to enforce 'legacy' mount behavior, and perform any extra mount argument
processing (selinux, zfsutil, etc). This helper wasn't ready for the
0.6.0-rc1 release but with this change it's functional but needs to
extensively tested.
This change addresses the following open issues.
