Fri 17 Nov 2023 04:24:13 AM UTC, comment #3:  I still encounter this error running Arch with Grub version 2:2.12rc1-5. I Had to destroy the pool and recreate one, then disable snapshotting on the "boot" pool as a temporary workaround.	ewnv <ewnv>
Wed 15 Nov 2023 08:12:49 PM UTC, comment #2:  Were these patches ever incorporated? I install using Gentoo, the 9999 build and I believe it pulls in whatever is current in git. The bug is still present.	Maurice Volaski <mauricev>
