   Hey, you are creating a new filesystem on your disk, you got to take
   backup.

   You can still try to recover.  Try this:

   zpool export export_home
   mkdir -p /export/home

   mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s4 /export/home

   And pray to Ganesha!  ZFS uses a dynamically growing tree structure and
   does not overwrite disk contents until you actually write data to it.

   Let me know if you see any errors.

Regards,
Moinak.
