For doing this automatically, you want:
OK, I guess this is a 'depends on what you want' kind of question. If you want the receiving filesystem to automatically inherit the properties of the sent snapshot, then, as Eric said, that's being worked on. But if you're just interested in compression (or any other inheritible property), then you can set it on the filesystem above the one you're receiving into, and it will be set when the receive filesystem is created. If you don't want to set it on the whole 'backup' pool, you could create an intermediate filesystem. # zfs get compression backup NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE backup compression off default # zfs create -o compression=on backup/compressed # zfs get compression backup/compressed NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE backup/compressed compression on local # zfs send tank/[EMAIL PROTECTED] | zfs receive backup/compressed/jump # zfs get -r compression backup NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE backup compression off default backup/compressed compression on local backup/compressed/jump compression on inherited from backup/compressed backup/compressed/[EMAIL PROTECTED] compression - - # That way you could store both compressed and uncompressed datasets in the same pool.
