Probably a very easy question for ZFS experts. I have an external USB

It is on ZFS.
Is it enough to umount it and tunr off the drive or do I have to
*export* the zfs filesystem first and later import it again?
You should export the zfs pool. Zfs does not like devices to be
completely turned off. Perhaps someday it will power manage devices
so that they are automatically turned off and turned back on when
needed.
