zfs-import errors, delayed boot

[muzicman0]

I had the errors in the screen shot attached to this post. I disabled the 2 services listed, which got rid of the errors, but I still have a long boot. It stops for quite a while at the same place as that error. Not the end of the world, but would like to solve if I can. I am no longer using ZFS on this node. Thanks for any help!

Hi,

Could you please provide us with the output of the following commands:

zpool get cachefile
stat /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
systemctl status zfs-import.service zfs-import-cache.service zfs-import-scan.service
