I can zpool export and zpool import the tank and it all works fine. so then I reboot ...and after reboot I get /tank, but it is empty! a 'zpool status' tells me that the pool is there and imported, but it doesnt show up when I type 'mount'. If I do an export and import then all the files appear again and the filesystem shows up in 'mount' though. any ideas ? it is obviosuly finding the pool, but not mounting any of the files systems from the looks of things. -pete.
