Hi,
I just installed the latest Ubuntu desktop from iso file
ubuntu-21.10-desktop-amd64.iso inside of VMWare workstation. I chose ZFS
and native ZFS encryption of the filesystem. The installation went fine.
Everything worked as expected.
Then I upgraded the packages to the latest version via the Software
updater. After reboot I'm stuck in the initramfs prompt. The following
command fails:
mount -o zfsutil -t zfs rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_gtw63h /root//
Permission denied.
And the system never asks me for the password to unlock the root fs.
So, I'm guessing that there is something wrong with the new initramfs
disk: initrd.img-5.13.0-27-generic
When I reboot and select the previous version in grub:
initrd.img-5.13.0-27-generic, the system asks for the password and boots
without a problem.
Thanks.
To summarize:
1. Installed new VM using the Ubuntu iso image. Chose ZFS native encryption. Minimal install.
2. As soon as the system came up, I hit the update/upgrade prompt. Rebooted and failed to boot the new version.
I didn't customize anything or installed anything extra.
