[SOLVED] Problem with rpool mounted by vdevs

[Vasilij Lebedinskij]

Hello! I have one server that has 2 ssds in mirror raid as rpool and 4 HDDs with one partition on each of them, that are mounted directly in VM. The problem is that i can't start proxmox while HDDs are connected. It can't import rpool. I've searched internet for same problem and found its pretty old. There was some information that one needs to edit /etc/default/zfs to fix this. In my case there is commented variable ZFS_IMPORT_PATH with value

"/dev/disk/by-vdev:/dev/disk/by-id"

. Should i just uncomment it and remove

/dev/disk/by-vdev:

?

are all of those pools named identical (e.g., "rpool")? what is the exact error message you get, and where do you get it? please also post the output of "pveversion -v"

I've solved my problem. Let me share my experience.... There was very strange behaviour in my proxmox. In the very begining i installed proxmox on raid 1 (2 ssds) then i created 1 pationion on each of 4 HDDs and added these partitions to VM. I don't know why but after i created these standalone partitions using gdisk my proxmox stoped booting. It said that i had another rpool and in fact "pool import" showed that there was another rpool that was raid 10 and consisted of those 4 standalone partiotions. So today i wiped all HDDs with sgdisk -Z and forwarded whole disks (/dev/sdc,dev/sdd,/dev/sde,/dev/sdf) to VM. I was surprised to see that inside VM logical disks were in place and filesystems were unharmed.
