@sopmot, double-check that the ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-zfs metapackages are installed. APT will not upgrade the mountall package for Precise to the mountall package for Saucy until the pin file for the ZoL PPA is installed.

If this system was not upgraded through a supported method like update-manager, then you may need to lock the mountall package and/or disable the PPA and run apt-get dist-upgrade manually.

Also note that the PPA does not accommodate multiarch installations. The mountall, zfsutils, etc packages should be 64-bit if the kernel is 64-bit.

Indeed, install ubuntu-zfs helped a lot.
I though, it's only a metapackage and depends on all necessary packages, it's not a requirement.

Anyway, installing ubuntu-zfs helped a lot, but there is still issue:

apt-get install zfs-mountall

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mountall : Depends: libudev0 (>= 151) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Installing ubuntu-minimal doesn't change anything (I strongly hope, it never will be a requirement.

BTW, system is brand new, just get installed:

This version of mountall is only in the PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise. If the APT source line for Saucy is correct, then you should be seeing version 2.5.1-zfs1 here.

Run grep -ir zfs /etc/apt/sources.list*. This should return only:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/stable/ubuntu saucy main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/stable/ubuntu saucy main 

All instances of precise, quantal, and raring must be removed on a saucy system.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mountall : Depends: libudev0 (>= 151) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This also means that the system is using a Precise source line somewhere, or that an upgrade from Precise is incomplete. The libudev0 package is not in distro for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy.

Try installing the correct package directly from this link:

• https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/stable/+files/mountall_2.51-zfs1_amd64.deb

Installing ubuntu-minimal doesn't change anything (I strongly hope, it never will be a requirement.

Yes, having ubuntu-minimal is required to get support here, and distro relies on it for major upgrades.

Ouch, you're right, precise is in the sources.list file, installed automatically by puppet.
Sorry for the mess.
