Hello,

I'm doing a fresh install on 2x10TB drives. I've reinstalled the machine for three times, the result is the same:

"cannot import rpool: no such pool available"

Here's a full recording of the boot process: https://www.screencast.com/t/cbjJIB4p5nkC

Any hints are highly appreciated!

Later edit. A temporary fix was to add ZFS_INITRD_PRE_MOUNTROOT_SLEEP='5' and ZFS_INITRD_POST_MODPROBE_SLEEP='5' into /etc/default/zfs then run update-initramfs -u. Is this a permanent solution? Because I feel it's not.

Thank you

if the controller takes a bit longer to initialize the disks and present it to the system, there is no way around it AFAIK
(you can see that after it drops you in the shell, a few disks get added)
