problem while importing zpool?

[HenryTheTech]

Hi there, I have abandoned FreeNAS as I found the bhyve VM support for windows machines (on an AMD chip) dreadful. I am excited to be migrating to proxmox as it looks very powerful.

I have a mirrored zpool named "zvol", which is functioning without error on FreeNAS.

after running: # zpool export -f zvol on FreeNAS, I was ready to import the pool to proxmox. However the import command on proxmox has returned a "DEGRADED" status:

# zpool import
pool: zvol
id: XXX
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices contains corrupted data.
action: The pool can be imported despite missing or damaged devices. The
fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised if imported.

config:

zvol DEGRADED
mirror-0 DEGRADED
sda ONLINE
3c3071bb-12dd-11e8-a206-00248ca1b276 UNAVAIL


Is this normal?

Well, I guess ill answer my own silly question in case any other noobs come around. For whatever reason, SDB wasn't initialized while the other disks were.

Clicking on:

"Initialize Disk with GPT"
solved the issue.
