Renaming a pool?

[Anders Wallén]

Is there any way to change the name of an existing pool?

Welcome Anders,

zpool export <old>
zpool import <old> <new>
 
https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=46300

BTW 99% of zfs related questions are well covered with googling, the alignment between solaris, freebsd, OSX, & zfs on linux these days is very good.

Although I always feel a wee bit nervous each time doing something major.

A+, Dave

Dear Anders,

yes, quite simple.
You can change the name while importing the pool:

zpool import oldname newname

Of course, it has to be exported first.


Best regards

Björn
