Error creating zpool in fresh install

So, I was getting this error before; then I did a fresh install, did updates, install OMV extras, the kernel (6) and zfs. Create the first and only pool:

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=; ls -la /dev/disk/by-id | grep 'sdb$'' with exit code '1':

How do I fix this?

I should add to this, I am getting failures EVERYWHEWRE, on a FRESH install. Is the order I have been doing things in wrong?

Everywhere might be exadurated, but its really frustrating when 3, THREE fresh installs do the same thing!

So, I was unable to install compose...

So on this install, I installed, did NOT do updates, install kernel (Yes, proxmox), rebooted, installed ZFS. Create pool. FAILURE!

And yes, I did search. Tells me to delete some duplicate entries in a file. Find the file, duplicate entries do not exist.

In case it matters, thi is running in a VM for testing.

MORE-

Deleted all disks, rebooted, shut down. Added new disks with a different size, turned on. Same error.

Wiped all drives (quick)

Same error

So, I don't know what other information to give you. I have you every step I took, in the order of taking them. The error message, and a screenshot of the error. I have tried to set up zraid1, and "basic". Both provided the same error. If you require additional information, such as an entry from the log file, I am happy to provide it, but not knowing what you need, I can't provide it.

It is set up on Esxi 6.7. I have created 6 or so virtual hard disks, thin provisioned (As this is just for testing, speed doesn't matter) 50 GB in size.
It has a 16 GB disk for the main install, 1 CPU, and 8 GB of RAM.

So I have noticed, I am getting the same message when the proper kernel isn't installed. (I have already tried to reinstall, to do things in a different order. I will stop re-installing from this point on)

The Proxmox kernel does appear on the Grub screen.

I also realized I did not post a screenshot of the error I was getting in OMV, so it is attached as well.

MORE--

I have tried zpool list from a console, and it told me no pools were available, so that means, as far as I know, ZFS seems to be on and working.

So I will try to give you my steps in a bit of a lower level.

I installed OMV by uploading the ISO to a folder on ESXI, and mounting the image in the created VM. Booted from it. No default settings were changed except the name, set to omvtest

After it was done, it automatically unmounted the ISO, and asked me to reboot. I rebooted.

I then logged in with the default username and password. This was done in the GIU

I then changed the password, and the logout time to 1 day. This was done in the GUI

I then did an update, but doing to the GUI, and hitting the little down arrow icon. I waited.

The IP address changed. I logged into the new ip address.

I loged in with SSH, and executed the following command: from root:

wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…ckages/raw/master/install | bash

after this occurred, the GUI told me there were configuations changes. I click apply.

I then used the GUI to download the Kernel addon

I then used the GUI to download the Proxmox kernel (v6.whatever it was, only one v6 available)

I was told to reboot the system to use the new kernel.

I used the GUI to reboot the system

I logged into the GUI, and used the GUI to install ZFS.

I then used the GUI to create a pool.

I received an error message at the bottom of the screen in a red box.

I hope that clarifies what I did. I think that's about as simple as I get get it wouthout a screen recording.

You can delete or wipe anything. Its just a test system

Was too big to post here. Here is a pastebin:

Well, that was massively frustrating, but it looks like its solved.

Don't beat yourself up. We all forget things. I do all the time. Works now, thats what matters.

Now to see if that will resolve all my problems with compose, and manually installing portainer.. If not, I will be back for more help (new thread of course)
