Failed to start zfs-import-scan.service

Hi All,

I'm getting this error which is preventing me from booting up the rest of the OS so I can't reach the web GUI.


I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff so I did a quick google search to find some commands that might help me and this is the output:


If there are some commands that would help, please let me know. I don't want to lose the data that is already on the RAID.
Thanks.

Try "zpool import -f RAID"

zpool import without any additional parameters only lists pools available for import. You need to specify which pool to import.
And since the error message is "this pool has been used in another system" you need the "-f" to ignore the "lock" the other system has on the pool.

Did you change hardware or reinstall Proxmox?

I did! My brothers CPU and motherboard has 2 more cores and 4 more threads that I thought virtualization would better utilize coupled with his 32GB of RAM. I had a feeling something like this would happen by switching something as major as that. But I just didn't know what to do to get it back.

I followed your instruction and now get this:


Then I did a reboot and I now get this:


And this:


Any ideas?

Would this fix it?

man zpool-import

Has anyone got any ideas? I've tried nothin and I'm all outta ideas.
Was swapping the motherboard and CPU a bad idea? What does the '-f' in zpool import -f RAID do?

I found another link for a related problem but unsure on whether running those commands would break something.
