Are you trying to import from a FreeBSD running within the jail? I guess you want to import the SSD into the "physical" FreeNAS environment, right? Was the old pool named rpool? Try giving it a different name, and/or using -F -R /tmp/root with the import command. > I am concluding that something on the old SSD drive still has a > record of the old ZFS set which must have been stored somewhere > other than the standard partitions ...

Never done that myself though... Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
