zfs discuss - Sep 2006 - Changes during zpool import

If I do a zpool import, all the properties gets read and 
accepted, right ? So this include mount points and 
nfs-shares too.

Is there a way to change a property (e.g. mointpoint) before 
I import and also can I list properties before I import to 
have a preview ?

extract from man zpool :

[I]zpool import [-d dir] [-D] [-f] [-o opts] [-R root]  pool  |
     id [newpool]

         Imports a specific pool. A pool can be identified by its
         name or the numeric identifier. If newpool is specified,
         the pool is imported using the name newpool.  Otherwise,
         it is imported with the same name as its exported name.

         If a device is removed from  a  system  without  running
         "zpool  export" first, the device appears as potentially
         active. It cannot be determined if  this  was  a  failed
         export,  or  whether  the  device  is really in use from
         another host. To import a pool in  this  state,  the  -f
         option is required.

         -d dir   Searches for devices or files in  dir.  The  -d
                  option can be specified multiple times.

         -D       Imports destroyed pool. The -f option  is  also
                  required.

         -f       Forces import, even if the pool appears  to  be
                  potentially active.

         -o opts  Comma-separated list of mount  options  to  use
                  when  mounting  datasets  within  the pool. See
                  zfs(1M) for a description of dataset properties
                  and mount options.

         -R root  Imports pool(s) with an alternate root. See the
                  "Alternate Root Pools" section.[/I]


So, you could import it with ''-R'', and then modify its
properties....[i][/i][i][/i][b][/b][i][/i]
