Hi all,

I made a boo boo and reinstalled OS without backing up.. the thing is though I have the data disks untouched from the old pve installation but they are showing as unmounted..

Is it possible to mount these pools back or am I better off finding an old backup and trying to get what I can from that and rebuild ?

These disks contain ZFS pools so I am finding it hard to even mount them
 
Use zpool import to "mount" ZFS pools. You probably also need to add them as Storage to your new Proxmox.
Thanks mate, ended up using zpool import -f after scanning using zpool import.. was able to get my PBS server online and restore the rest from there.. thank you again for the quick reply, got me straight to the right frame of mind to try again
