I believe it would be handy to be able to examine properties of a ZFS pool and all the data sets in it prior to importing the pool. In particular I would like to be able to do commands similar to "zfs list" and "zfs get ", for example to see where file systems will be mounted, whether they will be shared, eg whether new services will be started because I am importing a pool, etc.
In addition I think a "temporary" import in read-only mode would be handy, possibly to facilitate the above. This temporary import should NOT update, for example, the last host to which the pool belonged. Any imput/suggestions before I open some RFEs? _Hartz -- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C.
