ZFS-import.service dead

[bobos]

I have a failed to import zfs pool on bootup that I can't seem to resolve. Anyone know how to resolve?

Hi,
what is the actual problem? The zpool seems to be imported just fine. zfs-import.service is masked, so not started by systemd, but the import by cache file is working as expected it seems.

When I boot the server I get something along the lines: failed to import zfs pool

it dosnt stay very long on th screen, then it get to the login

That is normal. I see the same thing whenever I reboot my PBS server. Figured it's a boot script to import any unknown ZFS pools into ZFS automatically.
