Hi Ned,

Which man page are you referring to?

I see the zfs receive -o syntax in the S11 man page.

The bottom line is that not all properties can be set on the
receiving side and the syntax is one property setting per -o
option.

See below for several examples.

Thanks,

Cindy

I don't think version is a property that can be set on the
receiving size. The version must be specified when the file
system is created:

# zfs create -o version=5 tank/joe

You can't change blocksize on the receiving side either because
it is set during the I/O path. You can use shadow migration to
migrate a file system's blocksize.

This syntax errors because the supported syntax is "-o
property" not "-o properties."

# zfs send tank/home/cindy@now | zfs receive -o
compression=on,sync=disabled pond/cindy.backup
cannot receive new filesystem stream: 'compression' must be one of 'on
| off | lzjb | gzip | gzip-[1-9] | zle'

Set multiple properties like this:

# zfs send tank/home/cindy@now | zfs receive -o compression=on -o
sync=disabled pond/cindy.backup2

Enabling compression on the receiving side works, but verifying
the compression can't be done with ls.

The data is compressed on the receiving side:

# zfs list -r pond | grep data
pond/cdata           168K  63.5G   168K  /pond/cdata
pond/nocdata         289K  63.5G   289K  /pond/nocdata

# zfs send -p pond/nocdata@snap1 | zfs recv -Fo compression=on rpool/cdata

# zfs get compression pond/nocdata
NAME          PROPERTY     VALUE  SOURCE
pond/nocdata  compression  off    default
# zfs get compression rpool/cdata
NAME         PROPERTY     VALUE  SOURCE
rpool/cdata  compression  on     local

You can't see the compressed size with the ls command:

# ls -lh /pond/nocdata/file.1
-r--r--r--   1 root     root      202K Dec 21 13:52 /pond/nocdata/file.1
# ls -lh /rpool/cdata/file.1
-r--r--r--   1 root     root      202K Dec 21 13:52 /rpool/cdata/file.1

You can see the size difference with zfs list:

# zfs list -r pond rpool | grep data
pond/cdata                  168K  63.5G   168K  /pond/cdata
pond/nocdata                289K  63.5G   289K  /pond/nocdata
rpool/cdata                 168K  47.6G   168K  /rpool/cdata

You can also see the size differences with du -h:

# du -h pond/nocdata/file.1
 258K   pond/nocdata/file.1
# du -h rpool/cdata/file.1
 137K   rpool/cdata/file.1

zfs send foo/bar@42 | zfs receive -o compression=on,sync=disabled biz/baz

I have not yet tried this syntax.  Because you mentioned it, I looked for it in
the man page, and because it's not there, I hesitate before using it.

Also, readonly=on
