Is it zfs encryption? If so, you also need the argument "-l" when importing It may or may not like that, but it usually tells you if it finds something interesting. Mind you, I have no machines without UEFI, so, I probably can't help all that much, but.. this gives you an indication if something is very wrong. If you manage to import the pool, you can start mounting filesystems from the pool (zfs mount ....), and have a look at the logs for what you did.. I have no idea what auto-admin might've done, neither have I ever used it.home | help
