ZFS modules not loaded on boot - no kernel upgrade - Debian 10
by ge79so from LinuxQuestions.org on (#578NP)
My ZFS modules have mysteriously stopped loading at the point during boot when you would usually unlock the pool with encrypted ZFS on root. It drops into busybox and suggests loading the zfs modules - how?
An oddity, possibly unrelated - I used scp -r to copy a largeish directory structure to /home/username/folder on the machine in question immediately before this issue occurred, and scp seemed to get stuck in a loop - after a few folders worth it would restart copying the same files again. I stopped this and used rsync instead which succeeded. I later reset the machine and ZFS modules failed to load.
No updates had been applied since the last successful reboot.
So, I would be grateful for...
a) any ideas what might have happened?
b) is there a way to install/load zfs modules from busybox?
# modprobe zfs
reports "module zfs not found in modules.dep"
Thanks
