          Name or GUID of extra ZFS pools that you wish to import during boot.

          Usually this is not necessary. Instead, you should set the mountpoint property
          of ZFS filesystems to <literal>legacy</literal> and add the ZFS filesystems to
          NixOS's <option>fileSystems</option> option, which makes NixOS automatically
          import the associated pool.

          However, in some cases (e.g. if you have many filesystems) it may be preferable
          to exclusively use ZFS commands to manage filesystems. If so, since NixOS/systemd
          will not be managing those filesystems, you will need to specify the ZFS pool here
          so that NixOS automatically imports it on every boot.

          Name of directory from which to import ZFS devices.

          This should be a path under /dev containing stable names for all devices needed, as
          import may fail if device nodes are renamed concurrently with a device failing.

          This is enabled by default for backwards compatibility purposes, but it is highly
          recommended to disable this option, as it bypasses some of the safeguards ZFS uses
          to protect your ZFS pools.

          If you set this option to <literal>false</literal> and NixOS subsequently fails to
          boot because it cannot import the root pool, you should boot with the
          <literal>zfs_force=1</literal> option as a kernel parameter (e.g. by manually
          editing the kernel params in grub during boot). You should only need to do this

          recommended to disable this option, as it bypasses some of the safeguards ZFS uses
          to protect your ZFS pools.

          If you set this option to <literal>false</literal> and NixOS subsequently fails to
          import your non-root ZFS pool(s), you should manually import each pool with
          "zpool import -f &lt;pool-name&gt;", and then reboot. You should only need to do
          this once.

          property to <literal>true</literal> on all datasets which you wish
          to auto-snapshot.

          You can override a child dataset to use, or not use auto-snapshotting

          If it's not too inconvenient for snapshots to have timestamps in UTC,
          it is suggested that you append <literal>--utc</literal> to the list
          of default options (see example).

          Otherwise, snapshot names can cause name conflicts or apparent time
