I essentially created a self-loading shutdown script - HELP!

Glad to hear!

Just be careful next time. Don't "force" things without practicing caution. Luckily, the pool imported fine, even when you invoked "-f". But for future reference, "forcing" commands that fail (or fall back to a "failsafe" mode) doesn't always end well.

Hmm, I just checked the System Dataset and it is configured to be on the boot pool. So now I'm wondering, why did the booting stall after I physically removed my data pool?

As a sanity check you can do this:

Code:

zfs list -r -t filesystem | grep "\.system"

I pulled the pool physically and booted. But it didn't work

I’d regard that as a bug.

Exactly.

It should’ve worked.
