HI ,

Before  reinstallation   for the not-zroot zpools  i  do  :

      zpool export  poolname

After a  reinstalltion for the not-zroot zpools  i usually do :

     zpool import -f  poolname

     zpool upgrade poolname

I keep  backups  of all relevant  system files from /etc  & /boot   on  the not-zroot  zpools
so the files  can  be conviniently  reinstalled.


 Regards

I did a sequence of freebsd update from 13.1 through 13.2 and 13.5 to 14.3 and somewhere along the journey a tank didn't get imported.

All I had to do was a zpool import, but I wondered if it's normal for this to happen.

No data loss. Some hair loss before realizing it wasn't wiped out (the top level empty /tank)

Maybe more fs than stable, but asking here anyway. I asked there too without a crosspoint.
