System may not be configured correctly for boot environments

[K0-RR]

I got this vague error after the installation but since I read the docs I figured I now need to https://github.com/johnramsden/zectl/blob/master/docs/SYSTEM_SETUP.md#dataset-configuration so I tried zpool set bootfs="zpcachyos/ROOT/default" "zpcachyos"

cannot set property for 'zpcachyos': no such pool or dataset

I used zpool list and got:

NAME        SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
steam       349G   107G   242G        -         -    19%    30%  1.00x    ONLINE  -
zpcachyos   220G   171G  48.5G        -         -    63%    77%  1.00x    ONLINE  -

soo there is such pool? Then I run zfs list

Maybe zpool set bootfs="zpcachyos/ROOT/cos" "zpcachyos"?
I didn't throw an error but after issuing zectl list

Failed to validate the activated boot environment (cos)! Error:
Boot environment dataset (zpcachyos/ROOT/cos/cos) doesn't exist.

now it doubled "cos" for some reason, ok let's try zpool set bootfs="zpcachyos/ROOT" "zpcachyos"
zectl list

Failed to validate the activated boot environment (ROOT)! Error:
Boot environment dataset (zpcachyos/ROOT/cos/ROOT) doesn't exist.

At least looks similar to the entry from zfs list. Got it, "root" - all lowercase:
zpool set bootfs="zpcachyos/root" "zpcachyos"

cannot set property for 'zpcachyos': no such pool or dataset

This again?

zpool set bootfs="zpcachyos" "zpcachyos"
zectl list

zectl: System may not be configured correctly for boot environments

Aand I'm back at the beginning.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Also, I use refind and limine (as a fallback) instead of grub, will zectl work with them?

[johnramsden]

So, first of all refind isn't completely supported. Right now pretty much only systemdboot will give you a good experience as a plug-in. You might be able to use refind but it wont be plug and play.

zpool set bootfs 

Is the way you set your filesystem you are trying to boot from, which appears to be: zpcachyos/ROOT/cos/root

Do you have any trouble when you use that?
