RHEL 7 RC uses /usr/lib/dracut/modulesules.d

zfsonlinux currently installs into /usr/share/dracut/modules.d. This should be addressed. for now i just created a symlink for the 90zfs dir

other than that zfs runs great on RHEL 7

Can't this be discovered within configure (or, additionally, with a configure option)? Sounds a little backwards to hardcode it...

There's a with --with-dracutdir configure option which can be passed as part of the RHEL7 rpm spec file. That should work although there have been reports it doesn't. I just wanted to file this so I remember to get it sorted, we basically already do this for Fedora.

Ok, so we/it just needs to be a little smarter (if option not specified, look for the correct directory), and make sure that option really works as intended.

Is it possible that you explain with more details which is the procedure that must to be followed to let zfs work on RHEL7RC?
People like me, who loves zfs but doesn't be a kernel hacker, don't know where write "--with-dracutdir=/usr/lib/dracut/modulesules.d" because in RHEL/Centos you only have to run "yum -y install zfs".

I thank you very much any help you could give me to install Zfs on RHEL7RC.

you have to use a git checkout though and not the 0.6.2 release

Thank you @maci0. I'll post the results.

Fix zfs.spec.in defaults
5d2107d 
Commit 2ee4e7d accidentally introduced two issues which only occur
when rebuilding the ZFS source rpm outside the ZFS build system.

1) The _dracutdir, _udevdir, and _udevruledir macros must be checked
   using the 'undefined' keyword.  This was just overlooked in the
   patch review and does not cause a failure when using 'make pkg'
   because the values are provided by the make target.

2) The default _udevruledir path included a typo.
