Rename Rpool

[belrpr]

Hi,

I've create a ZFS mirror. The default name for this pool is rpool.
Is there a way that I can rename it or enter it during installation?

Not during installation. You can rename a pool by exporting and importing it again. For the rpool you need to also change grub, update your initramfs, change the storage.cfg. The general convention on the pool that holds the system is the name rpool. Best you try this in a VM.

Sorry to necro an old thread, but this came up in my Googling about just this issue. I also had to change /etc/kernel/cmdline
From: root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs
To: root=ZFS=NEWNAME/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs

That's apparently where proxmox-boot-tool pulls info from.
