+# 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
