Unable to import pool regardless of version

Hi all,

I've been running a ZFS pool on OpenIndiana for some time but wanted to move a more flexible system and freebsd 9.1-stable FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE seemed to fit the bill.

I've done some testing in virtual machines concerning the migration of my pool. OI has zpool at version 28 and datasets at 5 and on my virtual machines I was able to import pools into freebsd FreeBSD without issue.

Unfortunately, when it comes to my actual system, freebsd FreeBSD's zpool import reports that the pool was created using a newer version and it cannot import.

I returned to an OI Live CD and confirmed the version of the pool is exactly that which freebsd FreeBSD reports to be compatible.

I am at a loss as to how it can refuse to import, then tell me to use the exact versions I am currently using.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I really don't want to go back to OI if I can help it.
 
Actually, on further checking I was mistaken and I am currently trying to use FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, although I don't think that should make much of a difference. I'm really not a ZFS guru so I'm afraid anything past the basics and I'm totally stuck.

Again, help appreciated
 
Thanks for the reply. According to the OpenIndiana end, it is version 28. Only on checking again I see that it says version 28 but not all features are enabled and that I would need to upgrade to enable them fully.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about the intricacies of ZFS to look any deeper into that.
