nixos/zfs: Improve the ZFS boot process It turns out that the upstream systemd services that import ZFS pools contain serious bugs. The first major problem is that importing pools fails if there are no pools to import. The second major problem is that if a pool ends up in /etc/zfs/zpool.cache but it disappears from the system (e.g. if you reboot but during the reboot you unplug your ZFS-formatted USB pen drive), then the import service will always fail and it will be impossible to get rid of the pool from the cache (unless you manually delete the cache). Also, the upstream service would always import all available ZFS pools every boot, which may not be what is desired in some cases. This commit will solve these problems in the following ways: 1. Ignore /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This seems to be a major source of issues, and also does not play well with NixOS's philosophy of reproducible configurations. Instead, on every boot NixOS will try to import the set of pools that are specified in its configuration. This is also the direction that upstream is moving towards. 2. Instead of trying to import all ZFS pools, only import those that are actually necessary. NixOS will automatically determine these from the config.fileSystems.* option. Also, the user can import any additional pools every boot by adding them to the config.boot.zfs.extraPools option, but this is only necessary if their filesystems are not specified in config.fileSystems.*. 3. Added options to configure if ZFS should force-import ZFS pools. This may currently be necessary, especially if your pools have not been correctly imported with a proper host id configuration (which is probably true for 99% of current NixOS ZFS users). Once host id configuration becomes mandatory when using ZFS in NixOS and we are sure that most users have updated their configurations and rebooted at least once, we should disable force-import by default. Probably, this shouldn't be done before the next stable release. WARNING: This commit may change the order in which your non-ZFS vs ZFS filesystems are mounted. To avoid this problem (now or in the future) it is recommended that you set the 'mountpoint' property of your ZFS filesystems to 'legacy', and that you manage them using config.fileSystems, just like any other non-ZFS filesystem is usually managed in NixOS.

nixos/zfs: Improve the ZFS boot process It turns out that the upstream systemd services that import ZFS pools contain serious bugs. The first major problem is that importing pools fails if there are no pools to import. The second major problem is that if a pool ends up in /etc/zfs/zpool.cache but it disappears from the system (e.g. if you reboot but during the reboot you unplug your ZFS-formatted USB pen drive), then the import service will always fail and it will be impossible to get rid of the pool from the cache (unless you manually delete the cache). Also, the upstream service would always import all available ZFS pools every boot, which may not be what is desired in some cases. This commit will solve these problems in the following ways: 1. Ignore /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. This seems to be a major source of issues, and also does not play well with NixOS's philosophy of reproducible configurations. Instead, on every boot NixOS will try to import the set of pools that are specified in its configuration. This is also the direction that upstream is moving towards. 2. Instead of trying to import all ZFS pools, only import those that are actually necessary. NixOS will automatically determine these from the config.fileSystems.* option. Also, the user can import any additional pools every boot by adding them to the config.boot.zfs.extraPools option, but this is only necessary if their filesystems are not specified in config.fileSystems.*. 3. Added options to configure if ZFS should force-import ZFS pools. This may currently be necessary, especially if your pools have not been correctly imported with a proper host id configuration (which is probably true for 99% of current NixOS ZFS users). Once host id configuration becomes mandatory when using ZFS in NixOS and we are sure that most users have updated their configurations and rebooted at least once, we should disable force-import by default. Probably, this shouldn't be done before the next stable release. WARNING: This commit may change the order in which your non-ZFS vs ZFS filesystems are mounted. To avoid this problem (now or in the future) it is recommended that you set the 'mountpoint' property of your ZFS filesystems to 'legacy', and that you manage them using config.fileSystems, just like any other non-ZFS filesystem is usually managed in NixOS.
