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, using the
unmount
-f command. This option is not
supported on Linux.
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.
