Failed to start Import ZFS pool <pool-name>

[salpot]

Greetings,

I keep getting "Failed to start Import ZFS pool hddmirror." when Proxmox is booting. The pool is just fine when the login shows up after a minute or so of waiting. I found the following in syslog:

Nov 17 18:58:10 kong systemd[1]: Starting Import ZFS pool hddmirror...
...
...
Nov 17 18:58:10 kong zpool[950]: cannot import 'hddmirror': no such pool available
Nov 17 18:58:10 kong systemd[1]: zfs-import@hddmirror.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Nov 17 18:58:10 kong systemd[1]: zfs-import@hddmirror.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Nov 17 18:58:10 kong systemd[1]: Failed to start Import ZFS pool hddmirror.

hddmirror is the only pool with 2 drives in mirror Raid.

I tried both suggestions here https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS:_Tips_and_Tricks#Grub_boot_ZFS_problem but still having the same problem.
Tried both at the same time and separately. I even changed the time in ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP to 10, 20 and 30.

Any ideas what else to try?

I am currently on VE 7.1

Thank you

hi,

hddmirror is the only pool with 2 drives in mirror Raid.

does the pool show up in zpool list?

just checking, have you changed the kernel version in this command to match yours: b) edit /etc/default/zfs, set ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP='4', and then issue a "update-initramfs -k 4.2.6-1-pve -u" ?
you can check your kernel version with pveversion command.

Hello,

Yes, the pool shows up in zpool list and it is working normally. I also did use the kernel version that is currently running. No need to use the -k option in the first place, it'll just use the current running version.
