Hi,
as an experiment.
Let's say I have a zfs fs shared as an NFS resource to another illumos client.
Let's say I have created a 152GB file on this resrouce.
Let's say I have added the file as a lofi dev on the NFS server, and created a 
512GB zpool on it.
Finally, let's say I have added the file as a lofi dev on the NFS client too.
Now I can export / import the pool both from the NFS server, and the NFS client.
Obviously I can't import the pool from both machines.
But...what if one would "import -f -o readonly=on" and the other would import 
-f read/write?
Would it be possible?
This would let me zfs send the client pool to the lofi pool on the NFS share, 
while have the server
be able to read the contained files.
Is it safe?
Gabriele.
