I was having an issue with one of my Proxmox 5.0 version. When I was trying to start my VM it states an error:
kvm: -drive file=/dev/zvol/rpool/vm-102-disk-1,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=native,detect-zeroes=on: Could not open '/dev/zvol/rpool/vm-102-disk-1': No such file or directory
Hmm.. ” /dev/zvol is missing” when I check the zpool status, all states good
[email protected]:~# zpool status -v
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested

Reboot the proxmox did not solve the problem. So, after a couple of hours. I got a clue from the following reference: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cannot-access-disk-on-zfs.29892/
There was a problem upgrade command that’s not completely finished, there are two conditions that we don’t have to panic
- The ZFS has still detected the disk list when we type command “zfs list”
- Zpool status has no error found and no disk issue (hardware)
How to solve it??
Check your current zfs installed by running the following command:
dpkg -l | grep -i "zfs"
If there are some version mismatch 0.6 and 0.7 then you have to reinstall it. First. before we reinstall please ensure that the current kernel running is 4.10 (for proxmox 5.0). If all is good that running a command as follows:
apt-get install libzpool2linux apt-get install libnvpair1linux apt-get install libuutil1linux apt-get install libzfs2linux-dev apt-get install libzfs2linux apt-get install zfs-initramfs apt-get install zfsutils-linux apt-get install spl
The command above will reinstall (either downgrade and upgrade), So, all version will be exactly the same and it should be 0.7 to all ZFS* and supported kernel 4.10
When it’s done please wait for 5 minutes then try to start the VM again, if there is an error please reboot the server/proxmox to update the kernel with new ZFS reinstalled.
That’s all. I had my day back to normal again ? Hope this helps you All
