Hi,

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:

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?

Best regards,
   Constantin
