This will probably get me bombed with napalm but I often just
use star from Jörg Schilling because its dead easy :
star -copy -p -acl -sparse -dump -C old_dir . new_dir
and you're done.[1]
So long as you have both the new and the old zfs/ufs/whatever[2]
filesystems mounted. It doesn't matter if they are static or not. If
anything changes on the filesystem then star will tell you about it.
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.
Could you please explain your claims?
star doesn't (and shouldn't) create the destination ZFS filesystem like
the zfs recv would. It also doesn't preserve the dataset level would do.
One the other hand using star (or rsync which is what I tend to do)
gives more flexibility in that the source and destination filesystem
types can be different or even not a filesystem!
zfs send|recv and [g,s]tar exist for different purposes, but there are
some overlapping use cases either either could do the job.
