Trond, thank you for your advice. Yes, that state was unrecoverable without reboot. Additionally I found this little thread https://www.databaseusers.com/article/5971869/Cannot+export+%27backup%27%3A+pool+I+O+is+currently+suspended, whose last post helped me a lot with understanding what was going on under the hood, and why. So I followed the procedure carefully, taking special care of first stopping important applications and unmounting other big and valuable datasets. Forced hard reset was necessary, the reboot command just froze. However, there was one exception: I skipped deleting /boot/zfs/zpool.cache, to avoid falling into single user mode and importing my pools manually (I felt very uncomfortable going to do that remotely, with that crappy IPMIView console redirection). The system booted cleanly with all pools imported. The UNAVAIL pool got imported too, however, it did not get mounted, so there was no chance of any I/O attempt to it. The first thing I did after login was: `zpool destroy t`, which worked cleanly. Prior to doing all that, I reproduced that state and excercised the procedure on a virtual machine. Thanks again Irek
