I have been following this guide to install an Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Desktop) system:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-ZFS
I have completed everything up to step 6.4 and just rebooted the server. All steps prior to that were completed successfully. I am running a system with an EFI BIOS and it is configured to boot of EFI first and fall back to legacy. I have followed only the "EFI" related steps in the installation guide as it suggests following only one or the other.
I have rebooted, and the grub boot loader comes up fine, the default option boots after 5 seconds, and the kernel comes up - so initially all is well.
However about 4 seconds in, I see the message:
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
repeated numerous times.
Then the system fails with:
ALERT: ZFS=rpool/ROOT/ubuntu does not exist. Dropping to shell!
I have a BusyBox shell but not sure where I've gone wrong. Can anyone please advise? I've seen many people have followed this guide successfully so I'm not clear where I've gone wrong.
Thanks in advance!
