I'm relatively new to ZFS and have been playing around with different
file-backed set ups to determine how I will eventually configure my
pools. I've recently come across a problem with exporting a pool, but
I'm not sure if it's a bug or just my poor understanding of ZFS. I
create a simple pool using 2 128MB files. After exporting the pool, I
am unable to import it and the pool is not found by the zpool command.
Any advise would be appreciated. I'm currently running 8.1 STABLE.
ratchet# dd if=/dev/zero of=/disk1.dd bs=1m count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out

ratchet# zpool create pool /usr/tmp/disk1.dd /usr/tmp/disk2.dd
ratchet# zpool list

ratchet# zpool export pool
ratchet# zpool import -d .
If I then attempt to recreate the pool, I get an error indicating that
one of the files is a part of an exported pool.
ratchet# zpool create z /usr/tmp/disk1.dd /usr/tmp/disk2.dd

use '-f' to override the following errors:
/usr/tmp/disk1.dd is part of exported pool 'pool'
