    My ZFS Throws an Error on Boot

    I upgraded to 9 - and managed to break my zpool imports. There seems to be some kind of error in the cache, but despite removing and recreating the cache, nothing fixes the error and allows the system to boot. I've been able to boot via chroot on the proxmox installer. Anybody have any suggestions?
