ZFSBootMenu v1.7.1

on GitHub

This is a minor bug-fix release.

Fixes

• When ZFSBootMenu fails to import any usable pools on startup and drops to an emergency shell, the user can now manually import a pool if possible and exit the shell to attempt to continue the boot process. Previously, a reboot was required to retry the boot process.
• An oversight in the loading of encryption keys caused a harmless error message to be displayed above the password prompt. This oversight has been fixed and the error no longer appears.
• Changes made to the handling of /etc/hostid in the ZFSBootMenu dracut module in anticipation of similar changes in the upcoming OpenZFS 2.0.0 release. This caused inconsistent behavior on systems using the musl C library with current versions of ZFS on Linux, resulting in potentially unbootable systems without forcing the spl_hostid command-line parameter. Now, the ZFSBootMenu dracut module attempts to discover the installed version of ZFS and behave consistently.
