Ok, I see. I don't think he showed that because he didn't mention a reboot. If you *never* want to import a pool automatically on reboot you just have to delete the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache file before the zfs module is being loaded. This could be integrated into SMF. ZFS should normally be loaded during svc:/system/filesystem/local. Just create a service with filesystem/local as a dependent which removes /etc/zfs/zpool.cache. Like: /lib/svc/method/zpool-clear #!/sbin/sh . /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh /usr/bin/rm -f /etc/zfs/zpool.cache exit $SMF_EXIT_OK /var/svc/manifest/system/zpool-clear.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"> <service_bundle type='manifest' name='none:zpool-clear'> <service name='system/zpool/clear' type='service' version='1'> <create_default_instance enabled='true' /> <single_instance/> <dependency name='usr' grouping='require_all' restart_on='none' type='service'> <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/usr' /> </dependency> <dependent name='fs-local' grouping='require_all' restart_on='none'> <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local' /> </dependent> <exec_method type='method' name='start' exec='/lib/svc/method/zpool-clear' timeout_seconds='0' /> <exec_method type='method' name='stop' exec=':true' timeout_seconds='0' /> <property_group name='startd' type='framework'> <propval name='duration' type='astring' value='transient' /> </property_group> <template> <common_name> <loctext xml:lang='C'> Clears the zpool cache file </loctext> </common_name> </template> </service> </service_bundle> (sorry for the poor formating but this !$&%()# web interface is driving me nuts) Then do a "svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/system/zpool-clear.xml". Now /etc/zfs/zpool.cache should disappear on each reboot before the zfs module is loaded.
