I setup a new server with Proxmox 5 and then upgrade to proxmox 6 (Ovh installer don't have support yet for 6)

The server have 2x1 TB nvme drives in RAID1

After this i set the pool

Code: 
zpool list
NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
rpool   920G  1,38G   919G        -         -     0%     0%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

Code: 
zfs list
NAME                             USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
rpool                           1,37G   890G       96K  /rpool
rpool/backup                      96K   890G       96K  /backup_rpool
rpool/tmp_backup                 160K   890G       96K  /var/lib/vz/tmp_backup
rpool/vmdata                    1,37G   890G      664M  /rpool/vmdata
rpool/vmdata/subvol-801-disk-0   737M  49,3G      736M  /rpool/vmdata/subvol-801-disk-0

After reboot, i cannot open /rpool/vmdata (and the containers cannot start)

Code: 
zpool status
  pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

    NAME                                                 STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
    rpool                                                ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

i need to mount it manually:

Code: 
zfs mount rpool/vmdata

But now i cannot start the ct's

Code:

please post:
* `zpool get all rpool`
* `zfs get all rpool`
(if possible while the pool is not mounted)

quite often this problem is due to a not properly set and updated zfs-cache file - you could try:
`zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache`
`update-initramfs -k all -u`
`reboot`

I hope this helps!

Cache file ask about pool. But always get same error, with /rpool/vmdata or rpool/vmdata

Code: 
rpool/vmdata                    1,37G   890G      664M  /rpool/vmdata

zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache /rpool/vmdata
cannot open '/rpool/vmdata': invalid character '/' in pool name
 
Here is the error while try to start ct:

Your right about cache, i think:

sep 12 22:50:18 server7 systemd[1]: Failed to start Import ZFS pools by cache file.

I delete the cache file, and now have no errors after reboot; but zfs don't mount the data and after mount it manually, ct don't start

Click to expand...
the cache file probably is still in the initramfs...

zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache /rpool/vmdata cannot open '/rpool/vmdata': invalid character '/' in pool name

theres a tiny typo here:
Code: 
zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool/vmdata
(no / in the beginning before the poolname)

afterwards:
Code: 
update-initramfs -k all -u

and reboot
 
Finally i reinstall all (it's a fresh server)

Now i can reboot and seems to work fine.

By the way, zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool/vmdata give me same error "invalid character '/' in pool name"

Thanks Stoiko

sorry - again mistyped - you would have needed to provide only the poolname 'rpool'

But glad it worked out with a reinstall!
 
Emmmm... i put my CT into local storage, not ZFS pool :(

When i move ir to pool-vmdata and reboot... it cannot start again :'(

This is the screen where you select the container-template (which container you want to install (the root disk is the next selection)

in any case you need to select the appropriate storage-type (Container template for templates, Container for an actual container) for the storage (Datacenter->Storage)
