# The hostname and hostid of the last system to access a ZFS pool are stored in
# the ZFS pool itself.  A pool is foreign if, during `zpool import`, the
# current hostname and hostid are different than the stored values thereof.
#
# The hostid on Solaris is intrinsic, but is not on Linux (see #595790), so the
# spl kernel module invokes /usr/bin/hostid from the userland in its initialization
# routine.
#
# /usr/bin/hostid will return the 4 first bytes of the file /etc/hostid.
# If this file is not present or contains less than 4 bytes, then /usr/bin/hostid
# will return the bytes of the IP address of $(hostname) flipped, or zero if
# such IP couldn't be obtained
#
# This means that things like a DHCP lease change can affect the hostid.
#
# Therefore the only way of having a stable hostid is to define it on /etc/hostid.
# This postinst helper will check if we already have the hostid stabilized by
# checking the existence of the file /etc/hostid to be 4 bytes at least.
# If this file don't already exists on our system or has less than 4 bytes, then
# we will stabilize our current hostid by writing its value to /etc/hostid

# Detect if /etc/hostid is a conffile of previous spl package, migrate if yes
# hostid file should preserve even when package is purged
