This is a hook for mkinitcpio in ArchLinux when using Plymouth and ZFS with native encryption.

!!! Make sure plymouth-zfs is NOT installed !!!

1. Download plymouth-zfs.install and plymouth-zfs.hook.
2. Place plymouth-zfs.install at /etc/initcpio/install/plymouth-zfs.
3. Place plymouth-zfs.hook at /etc/initcpio/hooks/plymouth-zfs.
4. Update the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as per the docs.
5. Rebuid the initrams (mkinitcpio -P) and sign it if needed.

Example HOOKS array:

HOOKS=(base udev plymouth autodetect modconf block keyboard plymouth-zfs filesystems)

The hook works for me but YMMV. My goal is to setup an AUR package that automatically patches the hook from the ArchZFS repository.

This is a replacement for plymouth-zfs.

That package seems unmaintained and there's a bug in the handling of the file systems: it ignores filesystems with canmount=off.

The scripts here are based on up-to-date ones from ArchZFS with minimal changes inspired by plymouth-zfs.

Feel free to open an issue or send a pull request. Note that as this is a tiny modification over the upstream, the issue is likely to come from there.
