config/dracut/90zfs: handle cases where hostid(1) returns all zeros
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On systems with musl libc, hostid(1) always prints "00000000", which
will cause improper behavior when the 90zfs module is configured in a
dracut initramfs. Work around this by copying the host /etc/hostid if
the file exists, and otherwise only write /etc/hostid if hostid(1)
returns something meaningful. This avoids zgenhostid creating a random
/etc/hostid for the initramfs, which could lead to errors when trying to
import the pool if spl_hostid isn't defined in the kernel command line.

Furthermore, tag the /etc/hostid file as hostonly, since it is system
specific and shouldn't be taken into account when trying to use an
initramfs generated in one system to boot into a different system.
