We encountered a problem receiving a full ZFS stream from
a disk we had backed up. The problem was the receive was
aborting due to quota being exceeded so I did some digging
around and found that Oracle ZFS now has -x and -o options
as documented here:-
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1462/zfs-1m.html
Seems this has been raised as a feature request upstream:
https://www.illumos.org/issues/2745
Anyway being stuck with a backup we couldn't restore I had
a play a implementing these options and have a prototype up
and running, which I'd like feedback on.
This patch also adds a -l option which allows the streams to
be limited to those specified. Another option which I think
would be useful and seemed relatively painless to add.
The initial version of the patch which is based off
8.3-RELEASE can be found here:

Any feedback appreciated
Regards
Steve
