I''ve used "zfs unmount" on the pool on my external disk, but while the filesystems are no longer visible, "zpool" still shows the pool as "online". I suspect I shouldn''t disconnect the external device at this point (or at least that it''s not "ideal"). What else/other should I do administratively before disconnecting an external device with a ZFS pool on it? (Single device, simple pool, no redundancy). -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info

Will make it cleaner if you plug it into a different machine next. ''zpool import'' will be needed when you plug it back in. -Kyle
