Re-adding ZFS volume after reinstalling

Hi, My previous Proxmox installation was causing me loads of issues... I was finding it dropping offline once per day and I would lose clients randomly during the day. I decided that problems could have been caused by my previous tinkering, so I wanted to start a fresh.

I previously had a single ZFS RAID storage disk with everything installed. I used Proxmox to create the ZFS volume. I thought I would install another HDD, install a fresh copy of proxmox on it and hope that it would pick up the old ZFS drive and let me import the old Guests onto my new Proxmox.

Unfortunately it has not worked out that way. I can see the disks under PVE>Disks with Usage value of ZFS.
if I open the shell and type - $zfs list I get the following output:


Code:
root@pve:~# zfs list
NAME                           USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
rpool                         1.98T   586G      151K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                    6.61G   586G      140K  /rpool/ROOT
rpool/ROOT/pve-1              6.61G   586G     6.61G  /
rpool/data                    1.97T   586G      151K  /rpool/data
rpool/data/subvol-103-disk-0  1.12G  30.9G     1.06G  /rpool/data/subvol-103-disk-0
rpool/data/subvol-105-disk-0  1.25G  30.7G     1.25G  /rpool/data/subvol-105-disk-0
rpool/data/vm-100-disk-0      5.59G   586G     5.59G  -
rpool/data/vm-101-disk-0      5.72G   586G     5.72G  -
rpool/data/vm-102-disk-1      1.96T   586G     1.96T  -
rpool/data/vm-104-disk-0      1.49G   586G     1.49G  -

I'm guessing its just not mounted properly or something... could anybody please point me in the right direction?

what did you do with the new installation exactly, w.r.t. storage configuration?

can you post your /etc/storage.cfg ?
