I have a server running proxmox-ve-5.1-25 with all the latest updates. I have been running the server for about 4 months now with no problems until this last update.

A couple of days after running the update I needed to reboot the server and when I did it failed to come back online with the "failed to import error" others have had. Someone inanotherr thread said this was often seen when running zfs enabled OSs within proxmox (like freenas), however I am not running any ZFS enabled OSs at all.

I have 2 x 1TB Samsung Pro SSDs as my primary boot and storage (mirror-0) (rpool) and two 8TB Helium HGST drives (also in a mirror) for data storage and OS storage for my VMs that do not require the speed of the SSDs. On the spinning media I have 2 x 256GB SSDs acting as Zil and Cache. All drives are connected to an LSI 3008 12Gb/s controller flashed to IT mode.

I run scrubs every couple of weeks, the latest on October 29th. This is a very lightly loaded server with Dual Xeon E5-2640s and 256GB RAM.

I am on the subscription repository and the bpo80 fix that some suggested might be a fix did not work, I am on bpo90.

While the system runs just fine after it has booted, I would really like to get to the bottom of this issue since I am right in the middle of deploying a second proxmox server for VM replication. I am looking for any ideas that I may have missed!

Thanks

In my particular case, when I boot up I get "Failed to import pool 'rpool'. Manually import the pool and exit".

I am able to get the system back up and running by entering the following and then exiting:

Code:
zpool import -aN -d /dev/disk/by-id -o cachefile=none


I have tried all of the following ideas and none of them work for me:

1) apt update followed by apt upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade

2) Adding the "ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH" in /etc/default/zfs to "/dev/disk/by-vdev:/dev/disk/by-id" and regenerating the initramfs with "update-initramfs -u"

3) I was going to try to create a "disk-by-id.conf" file as suggested by @fabian here, however I did notice that the service zfs-import-scan is not active or enabled on my version of Proxmox, so doing so would have no effect at all:

Code:
root@proxmox:~# systemctl status zfs-import-scan
● zfs-import-scan.service - Import ZFS pools by device scanning
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-scan.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:zpool(8)

4) Tried adding "rootdelay=30" to my /etc/default/grub right after GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and ran update_grub.

try setting the SLEEP parameters in /etc/default/zfs and update the initramfs afterwards

Thank you @fabian

There are two different "SLEEP" parameters in /etc/default/zfs:

Code:
# Wait for this many seconds in the initrd pre_mountroot?
# This delays startup and should be '0' on most systems.
# Only applicable for Debian GNU/Linux {dkms,initramfs}.
ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP='0'

# Wait for this many seconds in the initrd mountroot?
# This delays startup and should be '0' on most systems. This might help on
# systems which have their ZFS root on a USB disk that takes just a little
# longer to be available
# Only applicable for Debian GNU/Linux {dkms,initramfs}.
ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP='0'

Which do you suggest changing?
 
try setting the SLEEP parameters in /etc/default/zfs and update the initramfs afterwards

This did the trick for me!

After I found the (my) error in the Busy Box (didn't run the right command:D)… System started with

# zpool import -N rpool
# exit

Then I made the adjustments in /etc/default/zfs
ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP=' 5' and ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP=' 5' and the whole thing ended with # update-initramfs -u.

System running. I have not yet made any further updates by subscription.
 
Same Problem with Proxmox 5->6
we change the /etc/default/zfs
But
update-initramfs
not found. so if we reboot, nothing changed.

what can we do?
 
Code:
# zpool import -N rpool

ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP=' 5' and ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP=' 5'
and the whole thing ended with # update-initramfs -u.

I had a similar issue after upgrading v4 to v5, not immediately after but a few reboots later.
Manually running the zpool import as posted by PVEPeta worked fine on the physical console.

In the file /etc/default/zfs I set
Code:
ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP='4'
and then ran
Code:
update-initramfs -k $(uname -r) -u

Then tried a cold shutdown and some reboots, all seemed well again.

Thanks all for sharing your solves.
