You can only rename it by exporting it and importing under a different name. NOTE: when you modify your root pool on a different system, throw away the zfs.cache file. (Earlier implementation of a bug where if you rename your 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) Casper _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
