New comment by emacsomancer on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/12519#issuecomment-503243537 Comment: Thanks, @Hoshpak . I checked upstream and found https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-discuss/Tf5892c78870b27c6/zfs-root-with-0-8-1-no-longer-working , which seems similar but non-identical, but I wonder if the problem doesn't lie somewhere with dracut in any case. I'll explore it further upstream.
