I have a zfs pool made up of disks on an external enclosure connected via eSATA. Everything works well and as expected due to the eSATA, Proxmox sees the pool as if it was made up of internal disks.

The problem is that the external enclosure was unplugged accidentally and after plugging it back in, it doesn't automatically remount. Thus, there is a grey question mark on the pool.

Is there a way to remount automatically or even manually once the drive is reattached?
 
I made a mistake. One of the external drives is setup as a Directory, the other is ZFS. Thus, both are not mounting after they were plugged back in.
 
The solution was to shutdown all the VMs and restart the whole Proxmox server. Everything came back up alright. Though, I wish there was another way to force remount manually without bring everything down.
