While downloading my drive became full and now it is non booting.

I installed a new drive in the workstation then installed exactly the same OS.

I am now trying to go about a simple way of accessing my full drive and getting my data which is in the root directory /root/virtualbox. Since both systems have the same rpool structure, what can I do to mount the secondary drive without conflicts?

I have cloned the drive and am using the clone for this. There is more than one way to go about this looking for suggestions.

I am thinking of cloning the drive to a bigger drive, maybe stretch the partition from 1tb drive to 2tb drive.

Not sure yet if this is a solution. On a ZFS level, what is a good practice?

You can import the faulty pool specifying an alternate mount point with the -R option:

zpool import -R /a device
