System boot, Failed to import not-yet imported pools

I recently updated my GhostBSD to stable 13.0 without problems.
However since then (if I'm not mistaken) while system boots I'm seeing:
Code: Select all
Apr 23 13:06:16 /etc/init.d/zfs[3363]: Failed to import not-yet imported pools.
Apr 23 13:06:16 ZFS[3366]: failed to load zpool livecd
Apr 23 13:06:16 /etc/init.d/zfs[3350]: ERROR: zfs failed to start
To add
dmesg -a gives:
Code: Select all
cannot import 'livecd': no such pool or dataset
Destroy and re-create the pool from a backup source.
Did anyone encounter this and what can be done about it?
Thanks.

You might not have followed this properly

You have to remove your zpool.cache and create it back.
also delete the line with zfs:tank/ROOT/initial in /boot/loader.conf.

Thanks @ericbsd
removing zpool.cache resolved the issue.

I triple checked and there is no such line in /boot/loader.conf
But when i try to use "bectl create 13" i get
libbe_init("") failed.
Did you mean that will not work?
I will read absolute FreeBSD to familiarize myself with backup procedures.
These are my beginner steps with BSD and i have copies of files backed up and in the case of misuse i can restore it.
bectl(8) libbe(3) libbe_init("") failed

Please let us have output from four commands:
uname -v
freebsd-version -kru
gpart show
zfs list -t all

I don't want to waste your time and good will, due to my tinkering with the system I decided to the best course of action is clean install of new GhostBSD.

If you like, although I don't mind attempting to diagnose problem(s) with non-clean systems.
