zpool: Import a zpool.

zpool

$ zpool import ${pool_name}

try on your machine

The command "zpool import ${pool_name}" is used to import a ZFS storage pool with the specified "pool_name".

ZFS, or Zettabyte File System, is a file system and logical volume manager developed by Sun Microsystems. It provides advanced features like data integrity, snapshot capabilities, and pooling of multiple physical storage devices.

In this command, "${pool_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the ZFS pool you want to import.

When executed, this command searches for an available pool in the system with the specified name and imports it. The pool will then become available for use, allowing you to access the data stored in it or perform various operations such as creating datasets, snapshots, or managing storage devices within the pool.

It's worth mentioning that the command may require administrative privileges, so it's usually executed with root or sudo access.
