Hello,
I have a situation where a host, which is booted off its 'rpool', need
to temporarily import the 'rpool' of another host, edit some files in
it, and export the pool back retaining its original name 'rpool'. Can
this be done ?
Here is what I am trying to do:

Hi,
Let me add another query.
I would assume it would be perfectly ok to choose any name for root
pool, instead of 'rpool', during the OS install. Please suggest
otherwise.
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I was just wondering if there was a way to for a specific vdev in a pool to
be read-only?
I can think of several uses for this, but would need to know if it was
possible before thinking them through properly.

NOTE: when you modify your root pool on a different system, throw away the

root pool and then your re-import it under a different name, zfs claims to
have found two pools and then starts to corrupt them)

Arjun,
Yes, you an choose any name for the root pool, but an existing
limitation is that you can't rename the root pool by using the
zpool export/import with new name feature.
Too much internal boot info is tied to the root pool name.
What info are you changing? Instead, could you create a new
