Hi Folks --

I created a backup of a 50GB zvol (rpool/vista) the other day by making a snapshot and
sending via:

# zfs create -V 50g rpool/vista
...
# zfs snapshot rpool/vi...@snapshotname
# zfs send -R rpool/vi...@snapshotname > vista.zfs

I would now like to restore but am getting errors (I'm completely new to this):

# zfs create -V 50g rpool/vista
# zfs receive -v rpool/vista < vista.zfs
cannot receive: must use -d to receive replication (-R) stream
# zfs receive -F -v -d rpool/vista < vista.zfs
cannot open rpool/vista: operation not applicable to datasets of this type
cannot receive new filesystem stream: unable to restore to detination

I know the data was backed up (vista.zfs is a 24G file), how do I get the contents
of my zvol back?  I'm using OpenSolaris 2009.06.

Many thanks in advance,

John
