Like this? temporary By default, all pools are persistent and are automati- cally opened when the system is rebooted. Setting this boolean property to "on" causes the pool to exist only while the system is up. If the system is rebooted, the pool has to be manually imported by using the "zpool import" command. Setting this property is often useful when using pools on removable media, where the devices may not be present when the system reboots. This pro- perty can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "temp". > (I am trying to move this thread over to zfs-discuss, since I originally > posted to the wrong alias) storage-discuss trimmed in my reply. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
