Description jo 2011-11-10 00:20:08 UTC 
Please update manpages for zfs and zpool to include to new command line options that sneaked in with a previous import:
- zfs diff
- zpool import -F -X

Esp what does -F and -X do for import? Discard the most recent txg?

I think r227794 on head just sorted this.
Please close.

Not sure if this should be a separate PR or not, but the -m option to
"zpool import" is not documented in FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 r227826.  This option
just rescued a large pool where the cache device had died, and "zpool
import" kept complaining about "one or more devices are missing".  -m
allows you to import pools by skipping over the missing devices.

There's lots of information on -m here:

The -F parameter is documented in more recent versions of FreeBSD
starting with 9.1

The -X parameter is purposefully not documented (and considered
dangerous) by the upstream OpenZFS project.

-m is documented as well, however the documentation says it only works
for missing log devices, not missing data devices.
