zfs discuss - Jul 2010 - physically removed a pool - how to I tell it to forget the pool?

Hi guys, I physically removed disks from a pool without offlining the pool
first...(yes I know) anyway I now want to delete/destroy the pool...but zpool
destroy -f  dvr says "can not open ''dvr'':no such pool

I can not offline it or delete it!

I want to reuse the name dvr but how do I do this?

ie. how do I totally delete a pool who''s disks have been physically
removed?

If all disks were actually removed, renaming /etc/zfs/zpool.cache and rebooting
should do the trick.

I am not sure but you may have to import root pool at next reboot.

It was fine on the reboot...so even though zfs destroy threw up the errors, it
did remove them...just needed a reboot to refresh/remove
 it in the zpool list.

thanks.
