Dear,

Have you tried to import the pool in readonly mode?
     readonly=on | off
         If set to on, pool will be imported in read-only mode with the fol‐
         lowing restrictions:

           ·   Synchronous data in the intent log will not be accessible

           ·   Properties of the pool can not be changed

           ·   Datasets of this pool can only be mounted read-only

           ·   To write to a read-only pool, a export and import of the pool
               is required.


Best Regards,
