Hi James, Of course, changing the recordsize was the first thing I did, after I created the original filesystem. I copied some files on it, made a snapshot, and then performed the zfs send (with the decreased recordsize). After I performed a zfs receive, the recordsize was the default (128k) on the new filesystem.
