Reorganize zpool(8) man page into sections
Moved subcommand topics into individual manpages. Reordered and grouped the list of subcommands by topic. Moved concepts overview to `zpoolconcepts.8` and the long list of available pool properties to `zpoolprops.8`. Internal cross-references copied from `zpool.8` needed to be converted to `.Xr` external references to new subcommand manual pages. Move `autotrim` into lexical order, autotrim tacked onto the end of a list. Now it is in alphabetical order. Clarify attach/detach description. Description was too specific to command syntax. Overview clarifies reason for attaching or detaching a device. Clarify replace description, don't refer to subcommand arguments. Clarify split command description, say what split actually does and why you'd want to do it. Clarify description of upgrade, and simplify the zpool.8 wording of the zpool-upgrade(8) description. Clarify description of import, detail what zpool-import(8) actually does. Add appropriate SEE ALSO sections. Divided zpool subcommand manual pages need their own SEE ALSO sections. Also modified fsck.zfs.8 to point directly to zfs-scrub.8 and zed.8.in to include a direct reference to zfs-events.8 Reviewed-by: Matt Ahrens <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Kjeld Schouten <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ross Williams <[email protected]> Closes #9564

+.Op Fl D
+.Op Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns device
+.Xc
+Lists pools available to import.
+If the
+.Fl d
+option is not specified, this command searches for devices in
+.Pa /dev .
+The
+.Fl d
+option can be specified multiple times, and all directories are searched.
+If the device appears to be part of an exported pool, this command displays a
+summary of the pool with the name of the pool, a numeric identifier, as well as
+the vdev layout and current health of the device for each device or file.
+Destroyed pools, pools that were previously destroyed with the
+.Nm zpool Cm destroy
+command, are not listed unless the
+.Fl D
+option is specified.
+.Pp
+The numeric identifier is unique, and can be used instead of the pool name when
+multiple exported pools of the same name are available.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl c Ar cachefile

+.It Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns Ar device
+Uses

+or searches for devices or files in

+The

+Imports all pools found in the search directories.
+Identical to the previous command, except that all pools with a sufficient
+number of devices available are imported.
+Destroyed pools, pools that were previously destroyed with the
+.Nm zpool Cm destroy
+command, will not be imported unless the
+.Fl D
+option is specified.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Searches for and imports all pools found.
+.It Fl c Ar cachefile
+Reads configuration from the given

+This

+is used instead of searching for devices.
+.It Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns Ar device

+The

+This option is incompatible with the

+option.

+.It Fl F
+Recovery mode for a non-importable pool.
+Attempt to return the pool to an importable state by discarding the last few
+transactions.
+Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this option.
+If successful, the data from the discarded transactions is irretrievably lost.
+This option is ignored if the pool is importable or already imported.
+.It Fl l
+Indicates that this command will request encryption keys for all encrypted
+datasets it attempts to mount as it is bringing the pool online. Note that if
+any datasets have a
+.Sy keylocation
+of
+.Sy prompt
+this command will block waiting for the keys to be entered. Without this flag
+encrypted datasets will be left unavailable until the keys are loaded.
+.It Fl m
+Allows a pool to import when there is a missing log device.
+Recent transactions can be lost because the log device will be discarded.
+.It Fl n
+Used with the
+.Fl F
+recovery option.
+Determines whether a non-importable pool can be made importable again, but does
+not actually perform the pool recovery.
+For more details about pool recovery mode, see the
+.Fl F
+option, above.
+.It Fl N
+Import the pool without mounting any file systems.
+.It Fl o Ar mntopts
+Comma-separated list of mount options to use when mounting datasets within the
+pool.

+for a description of dataset properties and mount options.
+.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
+Sets the specified property on the imported pool.
+See the
+.Xr zpoolprops
+manual page for more information on the available pool properties.
+.It Fl R Ar root
+Sets the
+.Sy cachefile
+property to
+.Sy none
+and the
+.Sy altroot
+property to
+.Ar root .
+.It Fl -rewind-to-checkpoint
+Rewinds pool to the checkpointed state.
+Once the pool is imported with this flag there is no way to undo the rewind.
+All changes and data that were written after the checkpoint are lost!
+The only exception is when the
+.Sy readonly
+mounting option is enabled.
+In this case, the checkpointed state of the pool is opened and an
+administrator can see how the pool would look like if they were
+to fully rewind.
+.It Fl s
+Scan using the default search path, the libblkid cache will not be
+consulted. A custom search path may be specified by setting the
+ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable.
+.It Fl X
+Used with the
+.Fl F
+recovery option. Determines whether extreme
+measures to find a valid txg should take place. This allows the pool to
+be rolled back to a txg which is no longer guaranteed to be consistent.
+Pools imported at an inconsistent txg may contain uncorrectable
+checksum errors. For more details about pool recovery mode, see the
+.Fl F
+option, above. WARNING: This option can be extremely hazardous to the
+health of your pool and should only be used as a last resort.
