So this thread is kind of a continuation of the problem I've posted about here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p2241263
I'm running Arch linux in a virtualized environment with the xcp-ng hypervisor
The virtual disk has two partitions using a GPT partition table using a MBR layount
Partitions are as follows:
xvda 202:0 0 200G 0 disk
├─xvda1 202:1 0 2M 0 part
└─xvda2 202:2 0 200G 0 part
xvda1 is the bios_grub partition
xvda2 is zfs
I'm using grub as the boot loader with the following set:
cmdpath'(hd0)'
prefix='(hd0,gpt2)/sys/arch/ROOT/default@/boot/grub'
root='(hd0,gpt2)'
I have an arch install CD setup with the zfs modules added to the install disk.
I can boot the install disk, mount the /dev/xvda2 partition to /mnt, and import the zpool (which is known as zroot): This process is done via:
root@archiso / # mount /dev/xvda2 /mnt
mount: /mnt: unknown filesystem type 'zfs_member'.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
32 root@archiso / # zpool import -R /mnt zroot
Some setup tasks as mentioned in the Wiki(https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ZFS#Installation):
m /mnt/etc/zfs/zpool.cache
rm /mnt/etc/hostid
zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache tank
systemctl enable zfs.target —root=/mnt
systemctl enable zfs-import-cache —root=/mnt
systemctl enable zfs-mount —root=/mnt
systemctl enable zfs-import.target —root=/mnt
arch-chroot /mnt zgenhostid $(hostid)
I get an interactive arch-chroot
arch-chroot /mnt
# zfs mount
zroot/sys/arch/ROOT/default /
zroot/data /data
zroot /zroot
zroot/backup/bitwarden-postgres-backup /mnt/bitwarden-postgres-backup
zroot/sys/arch/var/lib /var/lib
zroot/data/databases /data/databases
zroot/var /zroot/var
zroot/sys /zroot/sys
zroot/data/databases/bitwardenrs-sqlite /data/databases/bitwardenrs-sqlite
zroot/data/databases/bitwardenrs-postgresql /data/databases/bitwardenrs-postgresql
zroot/sys/arch/var/lib/postgres /var/lib/postgres
zroot/var/lib /zroot/var/lib
At this point I'm not exactly sure what to do to procede to make the system bootable.
Things I've tried have boiled down to:
1. Regenerate the initramfs from within the chroot
2. Regenerate grub config from within chroot
In terms of the initramfs, I'm using mkinitcpio with following configuration:
# vim:set ft=sh
MODULES=(zfs)
BINARIES=()
FILES=()
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf block keyboard zfs filesystems fsck)
In terms of grub -- it's pretty simple. from within the arch-chroot:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When booting I'm still stuck with:
Welcome to GRUB!
error: unknown filesystem.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Mod note: moving to AUR Issues as zfs is not officially supported by Arch.
