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:

# zpool import -R /a rpool temp-rpool
# zfs set mountpoint=/mnt temp-rpool/ROOT/s10_u8
# zfs mount temp-rpool/ROOT/s10_u8
### For example, edit /a/mnt/etc/hosts
# zfs set mountpoint=/  temp-rpool/ROOT/s10_u8
# zfs export temp-rpool    --> But, I want to give temp-rpool its
original name 'rpool' before or after this export.

I cannot see how this can be achieved. So, I decided to live with the
name 'temp-rpool'. But, is renaming 'rpool'  recommended or supported
parctice ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Arjun
