Hi,
If I add an entire disk to a new pool by doing "zpool create", is this
reversible?
I.e. if there was data on that disk (e.g. it was the sole disk in a zpool
in another system) can I get this back or is zpool create destructive?
Short answer: you're stuffed, and no, it's not reversible.
Long answer: see the short answer.
If the device was actually in use on another system, I
would expect that libdiskmgmt would have warned you about
this when you ran "zpool create".
You can go from EFI label back to SMI (traditional) label
by relabelling the disk from within "format -e".
