The easy, lazy solution is to close this bugreport. However if you start to use this install option on servers in server farms, you might have this problem more frequently. The OpenZFS website has a matrix with which features are supported by which OSes. It would be relatively easy to implement that matrix in the installers and to ask during installation, whether feature compatibility is required with another OS.
At least you should do something about the inconsistent and confusing error messages. Just read my bugreport again carefully! By the way, I could solve this large-dnode feature incompatibility, by putting all dataset property to "dnodesize=legacy" and reload all those datasets. I don't care anymore, but a server administrator will not be amused, when running in these type of issues with an Ubuntu Server.

The regression occurred after I reinstalled Ubuntu on my new nvme drive. I also had to reorganize my own datapools/datasets, because they either moved to the nvme drive or they had to be located on 2 HDDs instead of 3. I had one datapool that still works, the datapool containing my archives and it is the datapool, that has NOT been reorganized. I tried for a whole long day to get the backup working again, but I failed. I compared the properties from datapool and dataset, but did not see any problem there. Only a lot of new features and properties not present before and not present in FreeBSD. I used FreeBSD, because I use for backup an old 32-bits Pentium. I have two complaints: - the Ubuntu upgrade did cost me the compatibility with FreeBSD. Open-ZFS? :( - the system transfers the dataset and at the end of a long transfer it decides to quit and the error messages are completely useless and self contradicting. On the first try it say the dataset does exist and on the second try it says it does NOT exist. One of the two is completely wrong. Some consistency and some clearer error messages would be helpful for the user. See the following set of strange set error messages on two tries: root@VM-Host-Ryzen:/home/bertadmin# /sbin/zfs send -c dpool/dummy@191130 | ssh 192.168.1.100 zfs receive zroot/hp-data/dummy cannot receive new filesystem stream: destination 'zroot/hp-data/dummy' exists must specify -F to overwrite it root@VM-Host-Ryzen:/home/bertadmin# /sbin/zfs send -c dpool/dummy@191130 | ssh 192.168.1.100 zfs receive -F zroot/hp-data/dummy cannot receive new filesystem stream: dataset does not exist A 2nd subset of my backup is stored on the laptop and that still works. I also compared the properties with those of my laptop, that still has its original datapools of begin of the year. I aligned the properties of FreeBSD with those of my laptop, but it did not help. I attach the properties of the datapool and dataset from both FreeBSD and Ubuntu.
