‐x force-zpool-create= Option

This option instructs the zones framework to forcibly create a new ZFS storage pool, either over an existing old pool or onto a device that appears to be currently in use for other purposes. This mimics the behavior of the zpool create -f command syntax.

This option's scope is limited to the ZFS storage pools specified in a comma-separated list of zpool names or specified by using the option multiple times, for example:

-x force-zpool-create=rpool,pool2,pool3
-x force-zpool-create=pool1 -x force-zpool-create=pool2

The ZFS storage pool name to be used here is the name property of the corresponding zpool resource in the zone configuration. To specify the ZFS storage pool described by the rootzpool resource, use the name rpool.
