new install, can't import zpool

[scrub_nub888]

hi all,

was having an issue with my boot drives, so decided to just do a fresh install. I'm now trying to import my zpool that was on separate drives but running into an issue.

When I execute "zpool import" it asks me to use the "-f" flag.

When I execute "zpool import -f" it asks me to use the "-F" flag

When I execute "zpool import -F" it goes back to asking me to use the "-f"

Any ideas?

I believe you need both -fF in this case.

The unexported pool message is just detecting different /etc/hostid than the previous system that had the pool in use. The possible loss of 30secs on possibly corrupt pool is another override you have to explicitly specify.

gotcha that worked, thank you!!
