Description

I asked on zfs-discuss list about an option to import a pool without automatically instantly mounting its filesystem datasets and subsequently without sharing them over network filesystems (NFS, CIFS).
I got a reply [1] that a "-N" option exists for this purpose; however even as of oi_151a it is not mentioned in the zpool(1M) manpage nor otherwise advertised. It is presented in online help though (zpool -h).
