Why do we still need "/etc/zfs/zpool.cache" file???
The cache file contains a list of pools to import, not a list of pools
that exist. If you do a "zpool export foo" and then reboot, we don't
want foo to be imported after boot completes.
Unfortunately, the problem goes well beyond just zpool.cache. There are
several configuration files which use the pool name (e.g. dumpadm,
vfstab for swap), not to mention beadm configuration for opensolaris or
live upgrade configuration for Solaris 10.
beadm doesn't seem to care since I don't believe it stores the pool
names anywhere. Live upgrade on the other hand does, as do all the
other issues you highlighted.
