There is still a problem if the dataset version is too high. I *believe* that a 'zfs send -R' should send the zfs version, and that zfs receive will create any new datasets using that version. (I have a received dataset here that's zfs v 4, whereas everything else in the pool is v5.) As long as you don't do a zfs upgrade after that point, you should be fine. It's probably a good idea to check that the received versions are the same as the source before doing a destroy though. ;-) One other thing that I forgot to mention in my last mail too: If you're receiving into a VM, make sure that the VM can manage redundancy on its zfs storage, and not just multiple vdsk on the same host disk / lun. Either give it access to the raw devices, or use iSCSI, or create your vdsk on different luns and raidz them, etc. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
