Bug#721578: debian-installer: LVM + ZFS fails to work
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
I decided to try out the testing installer, and managed to break it by doing
the following:
Created a 32 bit virtuial machine (kvm) with an 8G virtual disk, and used
the testing netinst iso image from today.
In the installer:
Did guided partitioning using LVM, with seperate /usr, /home, /tmp, and /var.
Choose "Configure ZFS", configuring /usr, /hone, and /var to use zfs.
At this point, there was an error message, but there didn't seem to be
anything related to ZFS in /var/log/messages. I chose to contiune the
installation, and the partitioning screen recognized those partitions as
ZFS. However, those partitions weren't mounted at the next stage, and the
installation failed when trying to install the kernel due to lack of space.
