sd-zfs-hook

A standalone systemd ZFS hook for mkinitcpio, built from the archlinuxcn repository.

The archlinuxcn repo is the only org maintaining a sd-zfs module. However, their project is based on linux-lts and the module should be made available for all to use. Therefore, I created this repo to simplify the creation of just the module for others to use.

Installation

Option 1: Install from release

1. Go to the Releases page
2. Download the latest .zst file
3. Install with pacman:

sudo pacman -U sd-zfs-hook-*.pkg.tar.zst

Option 2: Build from source

git clone https://github.com/lumnikemel/sd-zfs-hook.git
cd sd-zfs-hook
makepkg -si

Usage

Add sd-zfs to your HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:

HOOKS=(systemd sd-zfs ...)

Then rebuild your initramfs:

sudo mkinitcpio -P

Command Line Options

The following boot parameters are supported:

• root=zfs - imports all pools, searches for bootfs property
• root=zfs:poolname - imports specified pool, uses its bootfs
• root=zfs:poolname/dataset - imports pool, mounts specified dataset
