[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/2] small improvements for installs on zfs

while testing the latest changes to the installer a few low-hanging fruit were
noticed:

* sometimes installations on zfs failed to boot when the disks contained labels
  from old zpools (e.g. a previous installation with raidZ2 and afterwards a
  raid0) since the zpool import in initrd saw two pools called rpool.
* with the recent changes to the way devtmpfs is handled it's now possible
  to create the zpool with the /dev/disk/by-id paths (as recommended)

Since none of the patches are fundamental to the working of the installer I
don't see a hurry to get them in (but did not want to forget sending them next
month ;)


Stoiko Ivanov (2):
  clear zpool labels on selected disks' partitions
  use by-id diskpath for zpool create
