Hello,
I recently rebuilt an old box as a Proxmox backup server that was running Proxmox with TrueNAS as a guest with a Highpoint HBA pass-through. Before installing PBS, the server was booting correctly and the pool I had in TrueNAS was mounting and healthy. I installed PBS on the OS SSD and was hoping to just import my old array.
All my devices are healthy.
I don't need to recover the data in this pool as I will create a new pool with 5 drives to use for backups but I figured this was a good test and a way to learn more about zfs as my knowledge is very limited. I'm not too sure what to do next as most of the posts I find deal with pool actually missing devices.
I can't find a way to make zpool import more verbose. It seems all the command rely on the pool being "available" per zpool status. I'm not sure what zpool import doesn't like about the pool beside the fact that it's from another system, although -f should take care of that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
