Thanks a lot for your help! Now it starts but it does not seem to work. The problem that the script expects pools already be imported. But the fact is that after reboot the list of pools is empty. It requres zpool import to be done first. Maybe either the issue with the local iscsictl configuration, or remote iscsi share, or zfs pool requires some special setting.

Upd: It seems that there is a difference between FreeBSD 13 and FreeBSD 12.2. 12.2 works as expected. After reboot 12.2 has a zfs pool in place

Yes, this script expects target pools to be imported already (and imported state persists over reboots).

I'm not sure whether imported pools persists over reboot, but adding zpool import "${iscsi_zfs_wait_pool}" in retry-loop may help.

     while [ "$retry" -lt "${iscsi_zfs_wait_retry}" ]
     do
         if zpool status "${iscsi_zfs_wait_pool}" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
             break
         fi
+        zpool import "${iscsi_zfs_wait_pool}"
         retry=`expr ${retry} + 1`
         sleep 1

It can be even more simple. 'zpool import -a' mounts all imported pools.

Thanks!
