> did you export the pool at all before rebooting it? Yes, I did. I just finally got it resolved :) It appears as though by importing the zpool onto another system obsoleted the cache file on the original USB /boot disk. I exported, then imported the pool on the secondary system, then copied the cache file into the /boot/zfs directory on my original boot medium. Things are now working again, and I have all of my new storage and original data in place! Thanks for all the help!
