You can use the userscripts plugin to automate the process of export/import. I don't know how to make the vms and dockers start after, but you might be able to include it in the script.

well for the moment, I got it working by creating a user script to run zpool export <poolname> zpool import <poolname> on array start. Of course this means i can't autostart the VMs, since they're using ZFS for storage, but only a minor inconvenience. It populates the /dev/zvol directory and the drive assignments work properly. Not sure why it doesn't do this on system boot correctly, but if anyone else is using it this way, this is how i got around it.

Has anyone played with zvols here? I've been toying with them and using them for hard disks in virtual machines, however, on reboot of unraid, they don't populate /dev/zvol/<poolname> like it should. It will show up properly when you first create the zvol, but not after reboot. #zfs create -V <size M/G/T> -s <poolname>/<zvolname> then run a ls -lh /dev/zvol/<poolname> it will show the name of your zvol there. This is to use for assigning it to a vm. However on reboot, that directory doesn't get created/populated.

<<<<<<<<<<EDIT!!!!>>>>>>>>>> Okay.. apparently I got ahead of myself here. I figured it out! by using OMVF and i440fx-3.0 I was able to get freenas to install and recognize the card. It booted without error. Apparently I had not tried this config before and I thought I had. I had originally tried OMVF with Q35, and It would boot, but i had no network device (defeats the purpose of a NAS...). Then I tried SeaBIOS with i440fx-3.0 and i got that error. I thought i had tried OMVF and i44fx-3.0 but I was apparently mistaken. So please, ignore my help request, but if you want to keep this so someone else may be helped by it! Feel free! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey guys, I've tried searching and reading as much as I could to try and understand what I'm doing wrong here, but I can't seem to get my LSI 9211 8i SAS card working right. I am exceptionally new to unraid, pretty much fumbling around right now. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it! My goal here, is to have my server host several VMs. pfSense Freenas 11.1U6 Win7 VM Win10 VM LibreElecVM I have the windows 7, 10, and libreElec VMs working properly, with GPU passthrough. (not to be run at the same time...) I'm still working on figuring out the pfSense and Freenas VMs though. When I was on unraid 6.5.3, I couldn't start the VM, it would give me a DMA mapping error and crash. Upgrading to 6.6.0 allowed me to actually boot the VM. The card works perfectly fine and recognizes drives attached to it when I allow unraid to access the controller directly The card is on p20 firmware in IT mode (I purchased it this way) The card is in its own IOMMU group IOMMU group 13: [1000:0072] 05:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) The card is blacklisted using vfio-pci.ids in the syslinux.cfg. 10de is my GPU and the 1000:0072 entry is the LSI card. default menu.c32 menu title Lime Technology, Inc. prompt 0 timeout 50 label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append isolcpus=1-3 vfio-pci.ids=10de:1187 vfio-pci.ids=10de:0e0a vfio-pci.ids=1000:0072 initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest When I start the VM, I get the following error...

Thanks for your help and time!
