If you can't tell I'm fairly new to zfs, and even newer to the revelation of zpools (I've been using one for over a year but had no idea, I wasn't the one who set it up). When I had finished the fresh os install I was originally trying to /mount/ the drives. I know I was running into an error of: "/dev/da0 is part of active pool 'tank'" with a suggestion that the mount could only proceed with the "-f" argument. I can't recall what exactly I did, but I may have tried to force a mount of da0 to /tank in pool "tank". This would make sense why I now can't import the original pool tank, and why there is a destroyed pool tank. Since these were raidz, is there any chance of recovering from my error?
