[Lisio <lisio@xxxxx>]

I've just added "After=local-fs.target" to /lib/systemd/system/zfs-
import-cache.service and now it starts almost normally. Only once I saw
an error after boot saying that kernel module zfs is not loaded. So,
this is not a good fix, but it shows that an issue is likely to be
connected with some race condition between mounting local filesystems
and zfs.

Title:
  File-based pools do not import on boot

Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System:

  ubuntu: 16.04
  zfsutils-linux: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu8

  Create sparse files and create pool:

  root@server:/# fallocate -l 100G /web/lxd/100gb.01
  root@server:/# fallocate -l 100G /web/lxd/100gb.02
  root@server:/# zpool create lxd /web/lxd/100gb.01
  root@server:/# zpool add lxd /web/lxd/100gb.02

  Check:

  root@server:/# zpool list
  NAME   SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
  lxc    199G    77K   199G         -     0%     0%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

  After reboot:

  root@server:/etc/apt# zpool list
  no pools available

  Try to create another pool with that files:

  root@server:/# zpool create lxc /web/lxd/100gb.01 /web/lxd/100gb.02
  invalid vdev specification
  use '-f' to override the following errors:
  /web/lxd/100gb.01 is part of potentially active pool 'lxd'
  /web/lxd/100gb.02 is part of potentially active pool 'lxd'
