I would also suggest cherry-picking/backporting the following two upstream PRs on top of 0.7.2: #6616: send/recv compatibility with 0.6.5.x [1] #6695: receive_freeobjects() skips freeing some objects [2] the first (DISCLAIMER: written by me :P) fixes an incompatibility between zfs send on 0.7 and zfs recv on 0.6.5 which would otherwise lead to lots of never-terminating, 100% cpu usage zfs recv threads on not-yet-upgraded replication/backup targets. the second fixes a potential inconsistency when receiving incremental streams, which would cause subsequent receives to fail. both are slated for inclusion in 0.7.3 ([3]). 1: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/6616 2: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/6695 3: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/projects/12
