Hi everyone,
I am still experimenting with ZFS and it seems I can not delete an old pool information from my NAS4FREE installation.
Can you please publish a link or procedure - how to DEFINITIVELY wipe out a zpool and virtual device.
Is there a way to initialize the whole ZFS system?
I am totally not impressed - neither with the reliability, nor the speed of ZFS. In so many years with Nas4Free I have used hardware RAID,
I never had problems with my data. Now with ZFS - I can not understand what am I doing wrong, but it seems to me that
the whole zfs subsystem is VERY UNSTABLE.
I would not risk my data using it!
Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Re: How to clean-up old ZFS pool
also to delete a pool that is not there because you have done it in a completly different way
use
zpool export <pool name>
use
zpool export <pool name>
