I'm NOT a ZFS expert, but I think it should be OK as long as you  
don't upgrade the v14 pool.  OpenSolaris won't upgrade pool  
versions automatically, so this shouldn' t be a problem.


I'm assuming this is a normal file copy, here; if you're trying to  
use 'zfs send' and 'zfs receive' I think you'll run into difficulty.
Yes, it will be normal file copying. It's eassuring that osol won't  
ugrade the pool ;-)


Right.  You have to explicitly run "zpool upgrade" to upgrade pool  
versions.  So, don't do that. ;)

You can also explicitly create lower-version pools with "zpool create -o
version=14 ...", if you need to create one from a machine with a newer
kernel.

Yes, it will be normal file copying. It's eassuring that osol won't 
ugrade the pool ;-) My main concern was that there would be some 
(although maybe slight) difference between FreeBSD ZFS and OpenSolaris.

If I boot off the OpenSolaris boot CD and import both mirrors will  
the copying from v22 ZFS to v14 ZFS be harmless?
I'm not sure if this is teh right mailinglist for this question. Let
