BTW, did you do a traditional in-place upgrade via apt? I've once or twice managed to break boot between Debian releases.. But not since lilo/early grub days.

Sounds like you probably ran into zfs not being in Debian proper - and buster unlocking dmcrypt, but not being able to mount zfs? Should normally be salvageable via booting previous Jessie kernel and initial ram/root disk (initrd).
At any rate, I gather you've moved on - just sound like an unlucky break - even with root on unsupported zfs.
- kop316 7y agoYeah I did an in-place upgrade via apt. I for some reason thought zfs was in debian proper (contrib vs. main). Like I said in another post, I may try doing that again. But then again, the main reason I haven't is because all of my stuff is backed up via Nextcloud, so reinstalling Debian is pretty quick/painless for me.
