[Bug 1547549] Re: zfs utils do not recommend or provide anything to discover errors

[Richard Laager]

Colin, recommending zfs-zed is not, by itself, sufficient to email root
as this bug report asked for. The debdiff I attached would accomplish
this. Are you rejecting my changes, do you want them in a separate bug
report, or something else?

Title:
  zfs utils do not recommend or provide anything to discover errors

Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ZFS errors can go undetected by normally diligent users because it's
  new and werid and not part of any scheme we have for reporting errors
  like we do with SMART. When a disk is taken out of a ZFS pool for ZFS-
  internal criteria, nothing in the normal utilities that are installed
  will let a user know.

  The ZFS event daemon will poll ZFS state and report errors to the root
  email address. (It's not as good as reporting errors into the GUI, but
  that's a feature and bug report for the Z-E-D. At least the admin user
  will get local email in the case of problems.)

  The zfsutils-linux should Recommend zfs-zed.
