zfs
Disk access was lost and I detached the zfs volume/pool & deleted the associated cifs share – that’s when all my troubles started
cannot re-import this since it gets an I/O error on the import and then it tells me to create the zfs pool from backup and,
however the hardware seems fine as well as the vmdk file that hosts the zfs volume.
Was able to copy the vmdk to another drive without issues.
When importing, i can get an error - restore from backup.
i would appreciate if someone can help to recover the zfs pool.
