Weird when trying to backup a proxmox backup VM. This is the error I get, even though the VM 201 is running and operable.
When I enter the command zfs list -t all it does not show the disk for vm-201-disk in any location even though it's supposed to be in local-zfs.

Task viewer: VM/CT 201 - Backup INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 201 --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --storage csd-txs-01 --node pve03 --mode snapshot --remove 0 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 201 (qemu) INFO: Backup started at 2023-10-12 10:20:50 INFO: status = running INFO: VM Name: CSD-PBS-002 INFO: include disk 'scsi0' 'local-zfs:vm-201-disk-0' 100G ERROR: Backup of VM 201 failed - timeout: no zvol device link for 'vm-201-disk-0' found after 300 sec found. INFO: Failed at 2023-10-12 10:25:49 INFO: Backup job finished with errors TASK ERROR: job errors

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

I've read the other thread.
How do I export the zpool rpool? Isn't my whole system installed on it?
That is where the local-zfs is located under rpool/data.
Do I shut down all VMS and then export the pool? I've done it with other pools, but never with rpool
