I recently retired an opensolaris installation and replaced it with 
Centos. I've compiled and installed zfs support for the Centos 
installation but am at a loss in accessing the data from the old 
opensolaris system without destroying it. 

I'm no expert with zfs -- I inherited this system. I believe I need 
to create a "zpool" and access the data via that mechanism, but can 
this be done non-destructively?
