Export/Disconnect pool gave ZFS Encryption? Data lost?

[Settler11]

So I was testing around with my Testpool. The pool wasn't encrypted. But after trying out the Export/disconnect pool and restoring the pool to the same disk, it got locked and it's asking for a Key file or Dataset Key (which I don't have)

Short question: is the data on the Testpool now all loss since I didn't do encryption on my disks...?
Other question: is the data on there salvageable after getting locked?

Export/disconnect pool and restoring the pool to the same disk

What does this mean exactly... how did you "restore"?

Pardon. 'Importing pool'

Its on top on 'Storages' when you've done Export/disconnect.

edit:
Also; not sure if any methods of this is going to help?

Unlocking a Replication Encrypted Dataset or Zvol

Via the discord server I've been told its a lost cause.. But I'm wondering if anyone else on the forum got a workaround perhaps.

You say you didn't use encryption, but clearly the root dataset is encrypted.

I'm very sure it wasn't before the Export/disconnecting pool. Otherwise I'd have a place I know for the prompt Key which should generate when you encrypt. And I basically copied what I did with the first dataset which is Unencrypted.

What does this reveal:

Code:

zfs list -t filesystem -r -o name,encryption,keyformat,encryptionroot Testpool

What does this reveal:

Code:

zfs list -t filesystem -r -o name,encryption,keyformat,encryptionroot Testpool

It gives aes-256-gcm hex Testpool (Encryption, keyformat, encroot) except the ix-application folders.

This means you enabled the encryption option when you created the pool.

I guess? Either way, I've deleted the pool..
