Hi,

I have been using NAS & SAN Free version in my lab (on VMware Workstation) without issue up until recently. I had one virtual disk connected to 3 virtual ESX servers and have VMs running on there without any problems. I had a power outage on the host over the weekend and when I reboot and power back on my VMs, my disk pool and virtual disk are gone.
I can see all my disks and have the option to create a new pool.
Checking the console I see the following error on boot up:
"[FAILED] Failed to start Import ZFS pools by cache file."

I honestly have no idea where to even start with troubleshooting this as I have no experience with ZFS and little with linux in general. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks, H.
