I'm not sure I see how that is easier. The command itself may be but it requires other moves not shown in your command. 1) zfs create z2/projects 2) star -copy -p -acl -sparse -dump -C old_dir . new_dir As a bare minimum would be required. whereas zfs send z1/proje...@snap |zfs receive z2/proje...@snap Is all that is necessary using zfs send receive, and the new filesystem z2/projects is created and populated with data from z1/projects, not to mention a snapshot at z2/projects/.zfs/snapshot _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
