Hello,

I have a problem after accessing a zpool containing a boot environment from 
another system. When the zpool is accessed (imported, mounted and exported 
again) by another system, the device addresses stored in its metadata are 
overwritten. Consequently, it is not bootable any more and causes a kernel 
panic when booted. The only solution is to boot from a live CD and do a zpool 
import/export in exactly the same hardware environment, so that the correct 
device addresses are restored again.

Can this be avoided? I need the zpool to be both directly bootable and 
accessible from another (virtual) machine. How can a zpool be imported and 
mounted without changing the device addresses stored in its metadata? I know 
those hardware characteristics could be important in RAIDZ scenarios, but this 
is just one partition...
