Nick,

    Specifying -v to zfs send doesn't result in much extra  
information, and only in
certain cases.  For example, if you do an incremental send, you'll get  
this piece
of extra output:

# zfs send -v -I t...@snap1 t...@snap2 >/tmp/x
sending from @snap1 to t...@snap2
#

zfs recv -v is a bit more chatty, but again, only in certain cases.

Output from zfs send -v goes to stderr; output from zfs recv -v goes  
to stdout.
