Re: getroot for ZFS without libzfs?

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

Please test / comment on proof-of-concept attached patch, it gets rid
of libzfs dependency in GRUB.

The approach is to implement a disk abstraction, like LVM does, but in
this case a very simple one (passthrough).  Then grub-probe et al can
obtain their information from this abstraction layer like they
currently do with LVM or mdRAID, but they don't need the device node
list anymore (since it's filled with a full scan, as with LVM).
