When I ran "zpool import" I got back "no pools available".
That was after a panic so I thought the sh*t had hit the fan again and mentally prepared to re-load 3 TB data again. But fortunately, I saw that I ran as myself, not as root. After a sudo -s everything looked as it should
If one run zpool import as a normal user, can you please add some warning or whatever. Maybe if one cannot access any /dev/* for writing or something. As it is now it is a bit too subtle.
