While messing around with ZFS last weekend, I noticed that I made a typo when I created one of my pools. Instead of naming a pool “apps,” I accidentally named it “app”:
$ zpool status -v
pool: app
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
app ONLINE 0 0 0
c0d1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1d1 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
To fix this annoyance, I first exported the pool:
$ zpool export app
And then imported it with the correct name:
$ zpool import app apps
After the import completed, my pool contained the name I had originally intended to give it:
$ zpool status -v
pool: apps
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
apps ONLINE 0 0 0
c0d1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c1d1 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
