Change the variable substitution in the udev rule templates
according to the method described in the Autoconf manual;
Chapter 4.7.2: Installation Directory Variables.
The udev rules are improperly generated if the bindir parameter
overrides the prefix parameter during configure. For example:
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --bindir=/opt/zfs/bin
The udev helper is installed as /opt/zfs/bin/zpool_id, but the
corresponding udev rule has a different path:
# /usr/local/etc/udev/rules.d/60-zpool.rules
ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", IMPORT{program}="/usr/local/bin/zpool_id -d %p"
The @bindir@ variable expands to "${exec_prefix}/bin", so it cannot
be used instead of @prefix@ directly.
This also applies to the zvol_id helper.
Closes#283.
The udev/rules.d scripts must use absolute paths to their support
binaries. However, where those binaries get installed depends
on what --prefix was set to when the package was configured.
This change makes the udev/rules.d helpers to *.in files which
are processed by configure. This allows them to be dynamically
updated to include the specified --prefix.
Additionally, this change updates 60-zvol.rules to handle both
the 'add' and 'change' actions. This ensures that that all
valid zvol devices are correctly linked.
To support automatically mounting your zfs on filesystem on boot
a basic init script is needed. Unfortunately, every distribution
has their own idea of the _right_ way to do things. Rather than
write one very complicated portable init script, which would be
invariably replaced by the distributions own anyway. I have
instead added support to provide multiple distribution specific
init scripts.
The correct init script for your distribution will be selected
by ZFS_AC_DEFAULT_PACKAGE which will set DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT.
During 'make install' the correct script for your system will
be installed from zfs/etc/init.d/zfs.DEFAULT_INIT_SCRIPT to the
usual /etc/init.d/zfs location.
Currently, there is zfs.fedora and a more generic zfs.lsb init
script. Hopefully, the distribution maintainers who know best
how they want their init scripts to function will feedback their
approved versions to be included in the project.
This change does not consider upstart jobs but I'm not at all
opposed to add that sort of thing.
