Hi,

One of my proxmox nodes randomly stopped responding so i physically restarted the PC. Accessing the PC directly i was able to see an issue with importing the zfspool. It recommended to enter a certain recovery command - which i did (can't remember the exact command), and then it booted successfully and started 1 VM, however it became unresponsive whilst trying to boot the 2nd VM and now the Proxmox node always fails to boot. Whilst it is booting, i get several errors, the first being 'Failed to start the Proxmox VE cluster filesystem'.

I'd really appreciate any information on how i can diagnose and (hopefully) fix the issue.

The Proxmox boot is setup as zfs (even though there is only one physical drive - i suspect i probably shouldn't have done this).

thanks in advance
 
just some more info from commands i have checked:
systemctl status zfs-import
returns:
zfs-import.service
Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit zfs-import.service is masked.)
Active: inactive (dead)

systemctl | grep zfs-import
returns:
zfs-import-scan.service loaded failed failed Import ZFS pools by device scanning
zfs-import.target loaded active active ZFS pool import target
 
Attached responses to:
journalctl -b0 -u pve-cluster.service
pveversion -v
