Unable to restore containers - 'Cannot open directory... No such file or directory'

[FlyingSky]

I've exported a zpool from an old system and imported it into a fresh Proxmox install on a new system but I'm having difficulty restoring the backed up containers. I've mounted a directory on the imported zpool that points to where the backed up containers are saved but when I hit restore I get the following error:

mounting container failed
TASK ERROR: cannot open directory //Tank/subvol-100-disk-1: No such file or directory

Here is a copy of my storage.cfg:

dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content iso,rootdir,vztmpl,backup,images
maxfiles 1
shared 0

zfspool: local-zfs
pool rpool/data
content rootdir,images
sparse 1

zfspool: MassStorage
pool Tank
content rootdir,images
sparse 0

dir: MassStorageBackup
path /mnt/Tankzfs/backup
content iso,vztmpl,rootdir,images,backup
maxfiles 1
shared 0

Backed up containers are stored in /mnt/Tankzfs/backup and the only way to see them is to mount the directory on the Tank zpool directly at that folder. Reading this support thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cant-create-containers.38547/ indicated that the backup folder must be mounted at /Tank, but trying that does not work. The backed up containers do not appear available for restoring.

Is somebody able to point me in the right direction?

Bump. Anybody got any ideas?

hmm - probably a timing issue between pve creating the subirs (dump, images, private, template) before ZFS Pool Tank gets imported...
* check whether `/mnt/Tankzfs/backup` indeed is the zfs-pool, or some other filesystem (df /mnt/Tankzfs/backup) - if its not the zfs dataset that's mounted there - move the directories away and try to mount thee zfs dataset
