Hello everybody.
I should read some data from a disk with zfs filesystem that was part of a raid 1. I read the zfs disk by attaching it via usb and importing the pool via the zpool import command.
I found an error related to the name of the pool because it was already present and so I used the command: zpool import rpool rpool2 -f
I wanted to understand why I can only see the rpool2 folder with only the data and ROOT folder inside.
Inside ROOT I have the pve-1 folder but I can't see it.
I don't see anything inside.

The data is there because if I do a df - I see the percentage of the disk used.

Do I have to do another operation to read the zfs disk?

Andrew.
 
The mountpoint property of a ZFS filesystem determines where that filesystem is mounted. The mountpoint of rpool2/ROOT/pve-1 is probably still set to /, which is already in use. Can you reset this property to default with zfs inherit mountpoint rpool2/ROOT/pve-1? Then the files should appear under rpool2/ROOT/pve-1/ after another export and import of rpool2.
