This change fixes a kernel panic which would occur when resizing a dataset which was not open. The objset_t stored in the zvol_state_t will be set to NULL when the block device is closed. To avoid this issue we pass the correct objset_t as the third arg. The code has also been updated to correctly notify the kernel when the block device capacity changes. For 2.6.28 and newer kernels the capacity change will be immediately detected. For earlier kernels the capacity change will be detected when the device is next opened. This is a known limitation of older kernels. Online ext3 resize test case passes on 2.6.28+ kernels: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zvol bs=1M count=1 seek=1023 $ zpool create tank /tmp/zvol $ zfs create -V 500M tank/zd0 $ mkfs.ext3 /dev/zd0 $ mkdir /mnt/zd0 $ mount /dev/zd0 /mnt/zd0 $ df -h /mnt/zd0 $ zfs set volsize=800M tank/zd0 $ resize2fs /dev/zd0 $ df -h /mnt/zd0 Original-patch-by: Fajar A.

How to setup a zfs root filesystem using dracut
-
Install the zfs-dracut package. This package adds a zfs dracut module to the /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/ directory which allows dracut to create an initramfs which is zfs aware.
-
Set the bootfs property for the bootable dataset in the pool. Then set the dataset mountpoint property to '/'.
$ zpool set bootfs=pool/dataset $ zfs set mountpoint=/ pool/dataset
Alternately, legacy mountpoints can be used by setting the 'root=' option on the kernel line of your grub.conf/menu.lst configuration file. Then set the dataset mountpoint property to 'legacy'.
$ grub.conf/menu.lst: kernel ... root=ZFS=pool/dataset
$ zfs set mountpoint=legacy pool/dataset
-
To set zfs module options put them in /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf file. The complete list of zfs module options is available by running the modinfo zfs command. Commonly set options include: zfs_arc_min, zfs_arc_max, zfs_prefetch_disable, and zfs_vdev_max_pending.
-
Finally, create your new initramfs by running dracut.
$ dracut --force /path/to/initramfs kernel_version
