It says at the end of the zfs send section of the man page "The format of the stream is committed. You will be able to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS." That would seem to be a rather strong general commitment. That makes it IMHO at least worth experimenting with the case you need, see if it accepts the stream. It should, according to the man page. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
