zfs discuss - Jun 2010 - How to remove zpool name "alias"

I''m not sure about the right naming, but here is what I did and what my
problem is now:
I imported a "syspool" as another name (that''s why I use the
naming
"alias"), using the following command: zpool import -f syspool
original

My problem is that after reboot, the syspool is available both as
"syspool" and "original" pool names at the same time. And a
"zpool
export original" does not seem to work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try exporting, then re-importing by UID, not name.
