The goal is to read pool health, confirm the ZFS stack is loaded, and ensure disks are visible. Work methodically and avoid destructive commands until you have a clear picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-check-zfs-module-and-version\">Step 1: Check ZFS Module and Version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>uname -r\nmodprobe zfs 2&gt;\/dev\/null || dmesg | tail -n 50\nzfs --version || zpool --version\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If the module fails to load after a kernel upgrade, reinstall OpenZFS (e.g., <code>zfs-dkms<\/code> on Debian\/Ubuntu) or use your distro\u2019s prebuilt kernel modules.
