I installed FreeBSD 11 with an encrypted GELI root and ZFS (zroot) on a USB stick. My intention was to boot off of it on several systems. It works fine on the original system but not on a second system. I get this message: Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 5. The USB stick is da0. The geli part looks like it works, but the zfs mount fails. Should I be able to move the stick between systems or do I need to do a zpool export zroot first? If so, where is the best place to put this (rc.shutdown?) I asked this question on freebsd-questions and didn't get a response. Thanks for your help.
