The USB stick is made from the standard USB image from genunix.org. I haven't checked, but I don't think it has a zpool on it, and even if it had it would not have been called rpool, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to import the rpool from the hard disk. I did not remove any splash image, I s

Hi, What is the ZFS pool on the USB stick called ? Do you have 2 pools called rpool ? Also you removed splashimage from the menu on the USB stick not from the menu on the hard disk ? why do you zpool export ? Also, the GRUB hang when booting from the hard-disk you are seeing is not due to
