So total newb here, pulling up ProxMox on a very old Dell PE T110 II server... got everything up and running and was trying to do "zfs" on three 6TB drives, ended up destroying (via gui) the ZFS stuff, but now on boot I get errors. The VMSTOREx pools do not show in storage.cfg and zpool.cache files does not exist. Any idea how I get rid of the errors?

Code: 
root@pve:/etc/pve# zpool status

Hi,
a systemctl disable --now zfs-import@VMSTORE2.service should be enough. Same for the other ones.

Nice, thank you for posting. I promise I googled the crap out of the errors and never came across your suggested command.
Code: 
root@pve:~# systemctl disable --now zfs-import@VMSTORE2.service
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/zfs-import.target.wants/zfs-import@VMSTORE2.service".
root@pve:~# systemctl disable --now zfs-import@VMSTORE1.service
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/zfs-import.target.wants/zfs-import@VMSTORE1.service".
root@pve:~# systemctl disable --now zfs-import@VMSTORE3.service
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/zfs-import.target.wants/zfs-import@VMSTORE3.service".
rebooted system and no VMSTORE entries in syslog, thanks again
