I want to remove this without using labelclear which is too dangerous.

Destruction
zpool-destroy(8)
Destroys the given pool, freeing up any devices for other use.

zpool-labelclear(8)
Removes ZFS label information from the specified device.

Labelclear seems too dangerous for me.
You can only destroy zpools which you can import. & the zpools are not importable.

 

[atax1a]

we would first try exporting it forcibly, then if that doesn't help, we would delete /etc/zfs/zpool.cache

 

[Alain De Vos]

yeah will try remove zpool.cache

Error remained. I'm very afraid to use labelclear , i know you can use zdb & delete stuff but this is too deep for me. It"s currently more an annoyance then an error.
