I have backed up fully prepared VM as I needed to reinstall Proxmox (move system to NVME RAID1).

When I try to restore the VM, it fails with not much info given:
restore vma archive: zstd -q -d -c /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2025_09_03-09_01_23.vma.zst | vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp40079.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp40079

Hello,

It looks like Proxmox couldn’t find or create the ZFS volume (zvol) for vm-100-disk-0 during the restore process.
Run zfs list to ensure that your target pool exists and is mounted.
 
Thanks for the help.

I did the check you suggesteded beforehand, everything looked fine but restore didn't work.

I must admint, I don't know what happened but as I was about to quit and do fresh reinstall I rebooted my computer once again and restore was successfull.
