Hi

Long story short. I've just received a server and it has a zfs pool on it with dying disks (tank). I've put in 2 new larger drives in a pool mirror configuration (tank2). Now i'm trying to export the original/old pool (tank) so i can import it back (rename) as (tankold), and then rename the new drives in tank2 and bring that backup as `tank`. That way all data is in the same spot.
When I export the data it appears the command `zpool export tank` successfully runs. When i run `zpool import` it informs me that there are "no pools available to import". I've seen some info about the service zfs-import might be remounting the pool and stopping the export from actually happening. I am running VE 6.4-14 and zfs looks like it's at 0.8.5-pve1

Is there some trick i'm missing here?
 
YES! I think that's it. I just need to test that. Thank you!

That was it. Thanks leesteken.

One other question, that you might know. I exported the old pool (tank) and imported it in as (tankold) and then renamed my new larger pool to have the name `tank`. However when I do a `zfs get sharenfs` all the shares are now saying `tankold` and my lxc/vms cant start as they are pointing to the `tankold` pool now. Is there a quick way to udpate those pointers?
