zfs discuss - Sep 2006 - How to NOT mount a ZFS storage pool/ZFS file system?

I currently have a system which has two ZFS storage pools.  One of the pools is
coming from a faulty piece of hardware.  I would like to bring up our server
mounting the storage pool which is okay and NOT mounting the one with from the
hardware with problems.   Is there a simple way to NOT mount one of my ZFS
storage pools?

The system is currently down due to the disk issues from one of the above pools.

Thanks,

David

pools.

Boot into single-user, remove /etc/zfs/zpool.cache
Then import manually the pool you want.
System won''t import any other pools.
