where /dev/nvme1n1p3 is linux pool (encrypted) /dev/nvme0n1p4 is bsd pool (encrypted) and /dev/sda2 is external backup pool ( no encrypted).

From bsd I can import linux pool, but when I try to import bsd pool on linux the terminal write me that doesn’t exist the pool

Linux can be finicky. What is the exact command you are using to import the pool?

It could be a conflict between zpool.cache and zpool-import-scan. If one is active and you try to use the other, it won’t work. If it exists, rename /etc/zfs/zpool.cache to e.g. /etc/zfs/zpool.cache.backup and try (assuming a systemd system) $ sudo systemctl restart zfs-import-scan.service. Then check if your pool was found with $ sudo zpool status.

I’m forgot to say that I “solved”, not really, but I discover that freebsd use geli instead native encryption, and Linux doesn’t see this
