c5ebfbbe 42.Sh DESCRIPTION
c5ebfbbe
RW
43Exports the given pools from the system.
44All devices are marked as exported, but are still considered in use by other
45subsystems.
46The devices can be moved between systems
47.Pq even those of different endianness
48and imported as long as a sufficient number of devices are present.
49.Pp
50Before exporting the pool, all datasets within the pool are unmounted.
51A pool can not be exported if it has a shared spare that is currently being
52used.
53.Pp
54For pools to be portable, you must give the
1e36af8c 55.Nm zpool
c5ebfbbe
RW
56command whole disks, not just partitions, so that ZFS can label the disks with
57portable EFI labels.
58Otherwise, disk drivers on platforms of different endianness will not recognize
59the disks.
