Hi, > Today I have about half a dozen filesystems in the old pool plus dozens of > snapshots thanks to Tim Bray's excellent SMF snapshotting service.
I'm sorry I mixed up Tim's last name. The fine guy who wrote the SMF snapshot service is Tim Foster. And here's the link: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_0_8 There doesn't seem to be an easy answer to the original question of how to migrate a complete pool. Writing a script with a snapshot send/receive party seems to be the only approach. I wish I could zfs snapshot pool then zfs send pool | zfs receive dest and all blocks would be transferred as they are, including all embedded snapshots. Is that already an RFE?
