Now that I know *what*, could you perhaps explain to my *why*? I understood 
zpool import and export operations much as mount and unmount, like maybe some 
checks on the integrity of the pool and updates to some structure on the OS to 
maintain the imported/exported state of that pool. But now I suspect this state 
information is in fact maintained in the pool itself. Does this make sense?


In short, once a pool is exported, it's not available/visible for live usage, even after reboot.

In that case, may I suggest that you add a note to the manual 
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/) stating that 
the pool should not be exported prior to booting off it?


done

Thanks for your help!

You are welcome.
