export ZFS storage pools

export
[-f
]
-a|pool… |
Exports the given pools from the system. All devices are marked as exported, but
are still considered in use by other subsystems. The devices can be moved
between systems (even those of different endianness) and imported as long as a
sufficient number of devices are present.
Before exporting the pool, all datasets within the pool are unmounted. A pool
can not be exported if it has a shared spare that is currently being used.
For pools to be portable, you must give the
zpool command whole disks, not just
partitions, so that ZFS can label the disks with portable EFI labels.
Otherwise, disk drivers on platforms of different endianness will not
recognize the disks.
-a- Exports all pools imported on the system.
-f- Forcefully unmount all datasets, and allow export of pools with active
shared spares.
This command will forcefully export the pool even if it has a shared spare
that is currently being used. This may lead to potential data
corruption.
