[zfs-discuss] Destroying old zpools

2008-10-03 Thread Brian
I have a couple zpools that are corrupted and need to destroy them. However, I can't seem to get this done because zfs will not let me import the pools. Is there a way to forcefully destroy a left over zpool regardless of the state it's in? Thanks. Brian. -- This message posted from opensolaris
