[SOLVED] mount zfs when directory not empty

[Psilospiral]

Have you tried this? (overlay=on)

LnxBil:

Thank you for posting this. It helped me three years later with my ZFS mount issue at boot! When I

zfs get overlay r720xd1
NAME     PROPERTY  VALUE    SOURCE
r720xd1  overlay   off      default

I realized it was time to

zfs set overlay=on r720xd1

When I rebooted, my ZFS file system was mounted again!

FWIW, I stumbled onto this issue because I never set a proper ZFS cache with

zpool set cachcefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache r720xd1
update-initramfs -k all -u
