Answer by ostendali for ZFS Datasets dissappear on reboot

ok, so the pool is there, which means the problem is with your zfs.cache, it is not persistent and that is why it looses its config when your reboot. what I'd suggest to do is to run:

      zpool import zfsPool       zpool list 

And check if the if it is available. Reboot the server and see if it comes back, if it doesn't then perform the same steps and run:

      zpool scrub

Just to make sure everything is alright with your pool etc.

Pls also post the content of:

      /etc/default/zfs.conf      /etc/init/zpool-import.conf

Alternatively, if you are looking for workaround to this issue you can set it of course as follow.

Change the value in from 1 to 0:

    /etc/init/zpool-import.conf

and add the following to your /etc/rc.local:

    zfs mount -a

That will do the trick.
