NetBSD does not recognize FreeBSD's zfs

Hello,

I have a zpool created on FreeBSD 12.0, but it is not recognized on NetBSD 8.1. Can anyone help?

NetBSD's ZFS implementation is not current: https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/zfs/

ZFS is not my forte, but zpools have particular versions and according to the man page the versions can only be upgraded and never downgraded: https://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/8/zpool/

FreeBSD's ZFS is very current, so it's likely that NetBSD's is too old by comparison and cannot read the newer zpool you have.

For a better answer from someone with a clue - this isn't the place. Try daemonforums.org or ask on the NetBSD mailing lists.
