[pve-devel] [PATCH installer v2 0/3] add check/rename for already-existing ZFS rpool

Pretty straight forward overall, implements a check for an existing
`rpool` on the system and ask the user whether they would like to rename
it, much in the same way as it works for VGs already.

Without this, the installer would silently create a second (and thus
conflicting) `rpool` and cause a boot failure after the installation,
since it does not know which pool to import exactly.

v1: https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-May/063874.html

Notable changes v1 -> v2:
  * incorporated Aaron suggestions from v1
  * rewrote tests to use a pre-defined input instead
  * moved pool renaming to own subroutine
  * documented all new subroutines
  * split out tests into own patch

Christoph Heiss (3):
  proxmox: add zfs module for retrieving importable zpool info
  test: add test cases for new zfs module
  low-level: install: check for already-existing `rpool` on install
