You can unmount lazy, or force, or by default, the unmount fails in the
presence of open

Suppose you "zfs send" from a primary server to a backup server. You want
the filesystems to be readonly on the backup fileserver, in order to receive
incrementals. If you make a mistake, and start writing to the backu

Hi,
When I set readonly=on on a dataset then no new files are allowed to be
