This morning I hard rebooted my VE due to a freeze, it is now fully booting to the login screen - however the login screen is unresponsive, web UI is unreachable, and after about two minutes I get the errors in the attached screenshot. I have been fiddling for hours and come across a few threads that have mentioned my main datastore's ZFS cache might be messed up in some way (The main datastore is a 8 drive ZFS setup), however since I am not able to login to the ve in any way how could I fix such a problem? I have also tried to use the installer to boot into debug mode and mount the pool, however ZFS looks like its no longer included in my installer. Any help is much appreciated!

I ended up importing the zpool in an ubuntu live installer to ensure the zpool was not corrupt (I was able to import it without trouble), I now am unable to get past bios (doesn't even boot into the VE anymore) - I am assuming I am missing something with my miniscule knowledge of ZFS.

Ended up undoing my changes manually (resetting the mount point) I am now back to being frozen on the login screen. I believe one of my VMs that is autostarting is using the wrong LSI (the one that is running my main ZFS array) and causing it to hang - Is there a way I can reconfigure said VM to not auto start without being able to get into the VE?
