Hello together,
[SOLUTION]:
add in fstab x-systemd.after=zfs-mount.service eg
UUID=2817-ABD5 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro,x-systemd.after=zfs-mount.service 0 2I have some strange issues, /boot/efi and /boot/efis is not mounted during startup and can't be unmounted during shutdown (also, when I mount them manually). It's a fresh install followed the wiki, but it's root on ZFS setup (which is running fine beside this error)
Have checked the journal, this looks "okay", no errors:
journalctl | grep boot

Failed unmounting /boot/efis/ata-TOSHIBA_THNSNH256GCST_X3SS107NTAWY-part1Has anyone an idea or advice? Of course, during normal work I don't care about efi partitions, but for grub updates it does matter.
Thank you in advance

I did some research, and I'm not shure if I'm going in the right direction...
But I have the feeling that the mount order is in the wrong order, in a first step local_fs will be mounted and in a second step then zfs, so zfs mount service overrides the already mounted /boot/* stuff:

# /dev/sda1 LABEL=EFI
UUID=2817-ABD5 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro,x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=/boot 0 2Any idea? How can I sort sytemd mount order, that
zfs-mount.servicewill be executed before
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mountor better that both EFI partitions from fstap will be mounted after zfs?

Sorry for bothering you all, found the solution, simply add x-systemd.after=zfs-mount.service to fstab, detailed solution in original post!

Some background, for the more interested people:
I setup a Arch with root on ZFS, ENCRYPTED. During installation I only checked /boot itself for correct mount, so I'm not sure, since when the error occured. During installation I ran into issues with SWAP (seperated Pool), so I scipped that. After successful installation and first boot I fixed then the SWAP, which is ENCRYPTED with PASSKEY.file and added to fstab.
I think, because of this ZFS SWAP in fstab the mount order was changed by systemd. But this is only my thinking of the error, I'm totaly not shure.
Maybe someone has similar setup and can check / validate or someone is running in same issues :-)
