Hi Kent, This is what I do in similar situations:
1. Import the pool to be destroyed by using the ID. In your case, like this: # zpool import 3280066346390919920 If tank already exists you can also rename it: # zpool import 3280066346390919920 tank2 Then destroy it: # zpool destroy tank2 I wish we had a zpool destroy option like this: # zpool destroy -really_dead tank2 Cindy ----- Original Message ----- From: Kent Watsen <k...@watsen.net> Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009 3:02 pm Subject: [zfs-discuss] how to destroy a pool by id?
