I am not sure under what circumstances this occurs, or whether it also
affects Debian Buster or Ubuntu.

bc5882432b reorder the bpool to be consistent with the rpool
We stick to two rules here:

 * -o options come before -O

 * pool-specific options are wedged in between -o and
   -O (e.g. compatibility=grub2)

I don't know if that was a deliberate policy, I'm just trying to guess
what the pattern was

16d2fe20df reorder and regroup zpool create commands
This regroups the options passed to zpool create in a more logical
way.

 1. the ACL/xattr/dnodesize settings are all on one line, since they
    are all related (latter being optimizations because we enable the
    former)

 2. ashift, autotrim, compression, normalization, relatime are all
    independent options that merit their own line for better
    visibility, they are also optional and therefore it makes sense to
    have them separate

 3. canmount, mountpoint and -R are all related as well

This is only a "whitespace" fix: there should be no functional change
to this patch.

I also noted that dnodesize=auto is *not* passed to the bpool cache
creation, even though it's passed to the rpool creation. I suspect
that might be an omission. This also goes to show that ordering those
options consistently makes it easier to spot those errors.

This is a followup to #307.

7493fd37e4 Debian: Revert compatibility=grub2
This doesn't work on Debian Bullseye.  While I tested the actual
create command on unstable, I know I looked at a file list on
packages.debian.org.  I must have looked at bullseye-backports by
mistake.  That's what I get for not testing the whole thing!

This partially reverts commit 7343c2253f.

db5c8c4785 Debian & Ubuntu: Rework dataset creation step
The major change for Ubuntu is to mark many of these as optional, like
with Debian and the old guides.  As I move away from zsys, this will end
up being more like the old way.

This was also discussed in #306 and #307, but this change has
trade-offs.  It can reduce the number of datasets created on the
system, but it does so by increasing the complexity to read and follow
the guide.

Then I just harmonized Debian with Ubuntu.  Aside from whitespace,
reordering, rewording, the substantive changes were to drop /opt and
add /var/lib/NetworkManager.

f110d52486 Debian Bullseye: Fix issue with zed steps
Running "zfs set canmount=off rpool/ROOT/debian" causes the root
filesystem to be remounted read-only.  I have no idea why, but that's
mostly beside the point.

I have no idea why I added these commands in the first place.  The
other guides were not this way.  These steps showed up in the initial
add of the Bullseye instructions.

8105d010fe Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian: Deprecate zsys
Ubuntu almost removed support for ZFS from the installer, and zsys is
on life support:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1966773
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1968150

I plan to rework the Ubuntu 22.04 instructions to be closer to those for
Debian Buster.  This will be straightforward, but I need to actually test
the resulting instructions before pushing that change.

5713bc08ed Use 'private' bind mounts
When plain '--rbind' is used, the 'umount' process executed later in the
setup process completely unmounts the bound filesystem, resulting in various
forms of breakage on the host used to do the setup. When a Live CD is used
and the system will be immediately shutdown/rebooted, this isn't an issue,
but in other scenarios it can be problematic.

Making the bind mounts 'private' avoids this problem. This patch changes
the setup guides for 'modern' distribution versions but does not touch
the older ones where this functionality may not be available.

c2ecfb8cbb Debian: Update for Bullseye
Besides the obvious s/buster/bullseye/ sort of changes, this:
  - Removes the use of backports.  At this time, the difference is
    minimal (2.0.6 vs 2.0.3) and I do not see a need to force backports
    on users.  They are free to add it later if they wish.
  - Updates the sources.list for bullseye-security also being at
    deb.debian.org.
  - Updates the bpool features:
    - device_rebuild has an explanation of why it is not used.
    - livelist is now used.
    - log_spacemap has been tested, but shares the same explanation as
      spacemap_v2 for why it is not used.

Fixes #204
Closes #126
Closes #205

This reverts commit b81a471939.

We clashed while working on this.  The Bullseye HOWTO in the above
commit was not rebased on the current Buster HOWTO, so a lot of its
delta between Buster and Bullseye is improper.
