Hi, I have a faulty hard drive on my notebook, but I have all my data stored on an external USB HDD with a zfs. Now I want to mount that external zfs hdd on a different notebook running solaris and supporting zfs as well. I am unable to do so. If I''d run zpool create, it would wipe out my external hdd what I of course want to avoid. So how can I mount a zfs filesystem on a different machine without destroying it? Thanks and Regards, Dave. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Btw, When you import a pool, you must know its name. Is there any command to get the pool name to whom a non-impoted disks belongs. "# vxdisk -o alldgs list "does this with vxm.

OK, got it : just use zpool import.
