[SOLVED] ZFS Root - cannot export zroot: pool is busy

So I'm following the ArchLinux ZFS as root guide on the wiki, and i get to the unmount and restart section. It says to run zfs umount -a which doesn't have any output saying failed or anything, and then to run zpool export zroot. However, this command tells me "cannot export zroot: pool is busy".

How can it be busy when I unmounted it? I also tried umount -R /mnt which worked, but it still says the pool is busy.

I'm not really sure what to do, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Edit: the law of asking for help, the moment you do that you find the answer. I don't think I can delete threads? so if anyone comes across this I had to simply run swap off /dev/zvol/zroot/swap.
