[Bug 2029260] Re: grub2 2.12~rc1-4ubuntu1: 10_linux_zfs needs update for new sorting

[Acceptable Name]

I have the same issue with booting straight into memtest.

I wish I knew why "set -u" was added to /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs as it's
easy to see that it was added; it is not easy to see why it was added.

"set -u" appears to be a significant factor in why zfs grub is failing.

sudo grub-mkconfig

[...skip some output...]

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs ###

Warning: didn't find any valid initrd or kernel.
### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux_zfs ###


grub-mkconfig works if I comment out the 'set -u' like this:

$ diff -u  ~/10_linux_zfs-grub-4ubuntu1 10_linux_zfs

Once 'set -u' is commented out, the system boots from zfs and displays
the login screen instead of memtest.

Versions I tested with:

$ dpkg -l | grep grub
