Hello,
I have a ZFS Pool with 2 drives (a 1TB and a 2TB drive). I would like to know how to rename it. I know that you can detach the pool and import it again but I don't know what the process is if I have more than one drive in the ZFS pool.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you for your help cyberjock but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for.
I detached the zpool and when I go to import it, I get the following:

May you please help me understand what .eli is and how I would import both disks at once?

So I believe that the .eli drives are actually my encrypted backup drive. The ada1p2 and ada0p2 are the two drives the comprise of a ZFS pool. How would I import the volume when there are two drives?

The 2.1Gb eli devices are your swap space partitions on the hard drives.

The p1 and p2 aren't drives. Those are partitions.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the "import" window....

Thanks for the reply. I thought I had to reimport it to change the name of the ZFS pool.
To reexplain, I have a 1TB and a 2TB drive that are combined into a ZFS pool called HDD. I want to rename it to something that makes more sense to the user when they access a share at the /mnt folder.

Thank you for your time.
