            Bug ID: 210814
           Summary: Installer can't install over existing ZFS
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jonathan@FreeBSD.org

When I try to run the -CURRENT installer over an existing ZFS setup (to sta=
rt
fresh), the installer stops with the error:

cannot create 'bootpool': pool already exists

This is a true statement, but I was rather hoping the installer would blow =
away
anything it needed to when performing this fresh install. I know how to use
zpool and gpart to clean up the existing installation, but new users should=
n't
be expected to.
