ZFS How to import zpool without history like root pool?

I think it's not necessary

I don't think that's possible.
history is part of the zpool and contains a lot of useful information. Information about how it was originally created, everytime you change/set a property on the pool or a subordinate dataset, everytime you create a snapshot, everytime you scrub.

Why would you not want that available? Why do you think it's not necessary?

the history is ordered of so one can easily filter it out.

Sorry, I misspoke. What I meant was there's no history like zpool import mypool

Ahh, so the import command is not showing up in the history?

That may be a "which comes first"? If the pool is not imported maybe the history isn't available to update. The initial zpool create shows up in history, but maybe that's a special case.

Yes, I want the zpool import mypool not show up in the zpool history when I import it manually

zpool history | grep -v import

That's not possible. Regardless of whether the pool is manually or automatically imported, the zpool-import(8) log is recorded in any case in the pool history. There is no option to exclude it.

zpool history | grep -v import

That's a good idea
