I am wandering HOW ZFS ensures that a storage pool isn't imported by two machines at one time? Does it stamp the disks the hostID or hostName? Below is a snipplet from the ZFS Admin Guide. It appears that this can be overwritten with import -f.
It doesn't. It will mark the pool as imported, but it won't stop you from forcing import on another machine. Hence the message below.
importing a pool that is currently in use by another system over a storage network can result in data corruption and panics as both systems attempt to write to the same storage.
