Hi,
I redirected a zfs send stream to a file on a smbfs mount (Windows share):
zfs send snapshot > /mnt/win/snapshot.zfs
When zfs receiving this file, the process aborts due to an 'invalid backup
stream' error. zfs receive -nv gives a little bit more information:
Assertion failed: !"invalid r
Hi Remco,
isn't the ssh example used in a context where you immediately receive the
stream (on another solaris system)? What I'm trying to do is storing a
snapshot on another system or media (tape, dvd,...) and restoring it later. I
know zfs send and receive are not ideal as a backup solution
Hi Remco,
the snapshots are indeed large files (just over 4gb). I haven't had problems
copying tarballs over 2gb to this share however. I'll tar my home directory
and try to copy that too to find out what happens :-)

Hi,
> Just wondering, why didn't you compress it first?
I'm just trying out the basic zfs features on my home pc. I don't pay a lot of
attentention to network bandwidth or compression at the moment..
And afaik, there's no issue with large files on OpenSolaris, I can copy a
tarball of my home
