Try using the -d option to zfs receive. The ability to do "zfs send -R ... | zfs receive [without -d]" was added relatively recently, and you may be encountering a bug that is specific to receiving a send of a whole pool. > And I have a follow up question: > > I had to snapshot the source zpool filesystems in order to zfs send them. > > Once they are received on the new zpool, I really don't need nor want this > "snapshot" on the receiving side. > Is it OK to zfs destroy that snapshot? > Yes, that will work just fine. If you delete the snapshot you will not be able to receive any incremental streams starting from that snapshot, but you may not care about that. --matt _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
