        ZFS uses a system's hostid to determine if a storage pool (zpool) is
        native to this system, and should thus be imported automatically.
        Unfortunately, this hostid can change under linux from boot to boot (by
        changing network adapaters, for instance). Specify a unique 32 bit hostid in
        hex here for zfs to prevent getting a random hostid between boots and having to
        manually import pools.
