Thanks Ian for your response. So you are saying, if I create recursive snapshot of the pool, it will be able to do the incremental send/recv for the file systems created on the fly?
I was thinking that if the file systems are created on the fly, then there is no previous snapshot for the newly created filesystems under that pool. So incremental send/recv will not work.
