Antonio Russo 39042f9736 Tunable directory for zfs runtime scripts
zpool and zed place scripts in subdirectories of libexecdir. Some
distributions locate architecture independent scripts in other locations
(e.g. Debian). To avoid these paths getting out of sync, centralize the
definitions.

Build zfs-test's default.cfg by Makefile.  Use the new directory
logic building tests/zfs-tests/include/default.cfg.in.

.TH "ZFS\-MOUNT\-GENERATOR" "8" "ZFS" "zfs-mount-generator" "\""
.SH "NAME"
zfs\-mount\-generator \- generates systemd mount units for ZFS
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /lib/systemd/system-generators/zfs\-mount\-generator
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
zfs\-mount\-generator implements the \fBGenerators Specification\fP
of
.BR systemd (1),
and is called during early boot to generate
.BR systemd.mount (5)
units for automatically mounted datasets. Mount ordering and dependencies
are created for all tracked pools (see below). If a dataset has
.BR canmount=on
and
.BR mountpoint
set, the
.BR auto
mount option will be set, and a dependency for
.BR local-fs.target
on the mount will be created.
Because zfs pools may not be available very early in the boot process,
information on ZFS mountpoints must be stored separately. The output
of the command
.PP
.RS 4
zfs list -H -o name,mountpoint,canmount,atime,relatime,devices,exec,readonly,setuid,nbmand
.RE
.PP
for datasets that should be mounted by systemd, should be kept
separate from the pool, at
.PP
.RS 4
.RI @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ POOLNAME
.
.RE
.PP
The cache file, if writeable, will be kept synchronized with the pool
state by the ZEDLET

.SH EXAMPLE
To begin, enable tracking for the pool:
.PP
.RS 4
touch
.RI @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ POOLNAME
.RE
.PP
Then, enable the tracking ZEDLET:
.PP
.RS 4
ln -s "@zfsexecdir@/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh" "@sysconfdir@/zfs/zed.d"
systemctl enable zed.service
systemctl restart zed.service
.RE
.PP
Force the running of the ZEDLET by setting canmount=on for at least one dataset in the pool:
.PP
.RS 4
zfs set canmount=on
.I DATASET
.RE
.PP
This forces an update to the stale cache file.
