[zfs-discuss] New 2 ZFS: How 2nd computer recognizes ZFS storage pool on USB drive?
On my laptop, I created a zpool on a 150GB Western Digital USB drive called wd149. Upon creation it mounted itself at /wd149. I now moved it to my desktop system and attached it. When I "zpool list", the wd149 pool is not recognized (I''m not sure if it should be automatically recognized or not). My desktop system run OpenSolaris 2008-11-RC2. My laptop runs an earlier version of 2008-11. How can I get my desktop to recognize this drive? Thanks. Richard Catlin -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

"zpool import wd149" will import your pool. -- Ian.
