Updateds zfs pool from OpenZFS release 2.2.0 and ZFSBootMenu can not boot from pool, what now?

Posted by artodeto on

As mentioned here, ZFSBootMenu prior version 2.2.1 is not able to boot a zpool once updated.

It took me some time and a few tries to understand that the solution is incredible simple.

Based on the official documentation, all you have to do is to:

  • Boot from a live iso like archzfs.iso
  • Mount your EFI-Partition
  • curl -LJO https://get.zfsbootmenu.org/efi
  • cp zfsbootmenu*.EFI /efi/EFI/ZBM/vmlinuz.EFI
  • Umount your EFI-Partition
  • Reboot

I've updated the archzfs iso build script to automatically create a iso file with the latest ZFSBootMenu pre-shipped.
