I dd-copied a whole drive that had several slices, one of which holds a single-disk ZFS in it (nothing mounted at the time of course). At this time both disks are in the machine. Naturally, `zfs list` shows the name of the pool once. `zfs import` reports nothing. `zpool status <poolname>` shows that the currently recognized physical location of this pool is the new disk. This isn't what I want, I would like to mount the original from the old location. Is there any way to reference a pool by it's /dev/ entry so that I can rename the new copy? Destroying it would be fine, too, as long as it doesn't affect the original one. The zfs list (Sun's) mentioned a PR 6280547 for a `zpool rename` but this doesn't seem to have been implemented. FreeBSD-9 code as of yesterday. I know I can easily work around this by using the drive on a different machine while this drive is alone, but out of curiosity I'd like to know.
