ZFS snapshot restore not quite working; missing steps?

[krad]

this is what my pool cachefile is set to

[root at carrera /home/krad]# ls -ltr /boot/zfs/zpool.cache
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1060 Mar 31 11:01 /boot/zfs/zpool.cache
[root at carrera /home/krad]# df -h /boot/zfs/.
Filesystem          Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
spool/ROOT/april     11G    1.4G    9.7G    12%    /
[root at carrera /home/krad]# zpool get cachefile,bootfs spool
NAME   PROPERTY   VALUE             SOURCE
spool  cachefile  -                 default
spool  bootfs     spool/ROOT/april  local


you are setting it differently, try the default setting and see if it helps.
