Hi,
Yes, a trivial wrapper could:
1. Store all property values in a file in the fs
2. zfs send...
3. zfs receive...
4. Set all the properties stored in that file
IMHO 3. and 4. need to be swapped - otherwise e.g. files will
not be compressed when restored.
hmm, I assumed that the ZFS stream format would take the blocks as they are
(compressed) and then restore them in a 1:1 fashion (compressed) no matter
what the target fs' compression setting is.
Then, the missing compression attribute would only affect new files, while old
files are still compressed (just like ZFS doesn't unpack everything if you just
turn off compression).
Can anybody clarify?
Best regards,
Constantin
