If /var/lib is a dataset not under <pool>/ROOT/<root_dataset>, as
proposed in the ubuntu root on zfs upstream guide
(https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS),
we end up with a race where some services, like systemd-random-seed
are writing under /var/lib, while zfs-mount is called. zfs mount will
then potentially fail because of /var/lib isn't empty and so, can't be
mounted.
Order those 2 units for now (more may be needed) as we can't declare
virtually a provide mount point to match
"RequiresMountsFor=/var/lib/systemd/random-seed" from
systemd-random-seed.service.
The optional generator for zfs 0.8 fixes it, but it's not enabled
by default nor necessarily required.
Example:
- rpool/ROOT/ubuntu (mountpoint = /)
- rpool/var/ (mountpoint = /var)
- rpool/var/lib (mountpoint = /var/lib)
Both zfs-mount.service and systemd-random-seed.service are starting
After=systemd-remount-fs.service. zfs-mount.service should be done
before local-fs.target while systemd-random-seed.service should finish
before sysinit.target (which is a later target).
Ideally, we would have a way for zfs mount -a unit to declare all paths
or move systemd-random-seed after local-fs.target.

Some redundancy is present in the systemd dependencies, as
noticed in PR#6764. Existing setups might rely on these quirks,
so these cleanups have been moved to the development branch.

zfs-import-{cache,scan}.service must complete before any mounting of
filesystems can occur. To simplify this dependency, create a target
that is reached After (in the systemd sense) the pool is imported.
Additionally, recommend that legacy zfs mounts use the option
x-systemd.requires=zfs-import.target
to codify this requirement.

Closes#6599
By default the mount(8) command, as invoked by 'zfs mount', will try
to resolve any path parameter in its canonical form: this could lead
to mount failures when the cwd contains a symlink having the same name
of the dataset being mounted.
Fix this by explicitly disabling mount(8) path canonicalization.

The mount(8) command will helpfully try to resolve any device name
which is passed in. It does this by applying some simple heuristics
before passing it along to the registered mount helper.
Normally this fine. However, one of these heuristics is to prepend
the current working directory to the passed device name. If that
resulting directory name exists mount(8) will perform the mount(2)
system call and never invoke the helper utility.
Since the cwd for systemd when running as the system instance is
the root directory the default mount points created by zfs(8) can
cause a mount failure.
This change avoids the issue by explicitly setting the cwd to
a different path when performing the mount.

* Disable zfs-import-scan.service by default. This ensures that
pools will not be automatically imported unless they appear in
the cache file. When this service is explicitly enabled pools
will be imported with the "cachefile=none" property set. This
prevents the creation of, or update to, an existing cache file.
$ systemctl list-unit-files | grep zfs
zfs-import-cache.service enabled
zfs-import-scan.service disabled
zfs-mount.service enabled
zfs-share.service enabled
zfs-zed.service enabled
zfs.target enabled
* Change services to dynamic from static by adding an [Install]
section and adding 'WantedBy' tags in favor of 'Requires' tags.
This allows for easier customization of the boot behavior.
* Start the zfs-import-cache.service after the root pivot so
the cache file is available in the standard location.
* Start the zfs-mount.service after the systemd-remount-fs.service
to ensure the root fs is writeable and the ZFS filesystems can
create their mount points.
* Change the default behavior to only load the ZFS kernel modules
in zfs-import-*.service or when blkid(8) detects a pool. Users
who wish to unconditionally load the kernel modules must uncomment
the list of modules in /lib/modules-load.d/zfs.conf.

This adds systemd unit files replacing the functionality offered by
the SysV init script found in etc/init.d.
It has been developed and tested on Fedora 19, Fedora 20
and openSuSE 13.1.
Four unit files and one target are offered.
zfs-import-cache.service:
Import pools from /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This unit will wait for
udev to settle.
zfs-import-scan.service:
Import pools by scanning /dev/disk/by-id for zvols. This unit will
only run if /etc/zfs/zpool.cache is not present. This unit will wait
for udev to settle
zfs-mount.service:
Mount ZFS native filesystems. It contains a dependency to be loaded
before local-fs.target.
zfs-share.service:
Share NFS/SMB filesystems. This unit contains a dependency that
will cause it to be restarted whenever the smb or nfs-server unit
is restarted, restoring the shares added.
zfs.target:
This target pulls in the other units in order to start ZFS. It's
the only unit that can be enabled/disabled, all other services
are static and pulled in by dependencies. It will honour zfs=off
and zfs=no options on the kernel command line.
