Importing pool from diff device mounts to /mnt/mnt/pool. Any way to fix in GUI?

[RandyJames]

I have 2 pools I created in a different device and they seem to mount to /mnt/mnt/poolname instead of /mnt/poolname like ones I create on site or if I use the zpool import -R / poolname But of course doing so breaks the GUI.

Looking for a solution...

Thanks!

This sounds like the other device used an altroot of /, and a mountpoint of /mnt/poolname. After importing the pool in the GUI, try zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/poolname poolname.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it didn't change it for me. zfs list will show they are still mounted at their /mnt/mnt/poolname

Now, I am in the admin account and su to use the zfs / zpool commands. I assume I'm going the right way here?

I had to change the mountpoint to /poolname export, import in gui and it works now.

Thanks for the pointers!
