I have a FBSD FreeBSD 9 system with a root which I would like to transfer to another - larger disk - putting up a fresh FBSD FreeBSD install and transfering some of the /etc and /usr/local/etc configuration files.
Within this system I have two zfs pools. And one is especially important holding around 5TB of data. It is a raid-z which was created with gpart labels on HDDs. Something like the following
Second one is a ZFS stripe.
As I don't have a spare HDD to backup all of data on the RAID-Z (only most important files are backed up) - what is the easiest way to attach this zpool after I reinstall a fresh newFBSD FreeBSD system?

Code:
backupstorage# gpart create -s GPT ad0
backupstorage# gpart add -b 34 -s 1953525101 -i 1 -t freebsd-zfs -l disk0 ad0
backupstorage# gpart show
=> 34 1953525101 da0 GPT (932G)
34 1953525101 1 freebsd-zfs (932G)
