Hi,

I can't seem to boot after creating a zfs pool of 5 drives after rebooting for the first time. I remembered adding the pool at /zfs as a directory (to add CT images and ISOs and all) but it's basically empty. Don't mind destroying and recreating the pool if it means I can reboot and not reinstall proxmox again.

Can't attach any logs since the system hangs during boot.

Cheers and thanks!

Without more logs it's not possible to find the cause of this.
*The system should either boot-up - or offer you to enter the rescue shell - in both cases - check the journal (journalctl -b) for the reason of the failed import (usually the failed import would not cause the system not to boot up)

on a hunch - I'd suggest to add a root-delay to the kernel command line to give the system more time to enumerate all disks:

I hope this helps!

Thanks, gonna try it later! But isn't there a way to disable ZFS? And no there's no way for me to get the logs because it hangs right there and keyboard light shuts off immediately.

Edit: ok seems like kernel 5.4.73 -1-pve works. 5.4.106-1-pve is the one that hangs. But power goes out automatically with .73 in ~30 secs after the login prompt. Not sure why.
