There are two versions when it comes to ZFS - The zpool version and the zfs version. bhigh@basestar:~$ zpool list -o name,version NAME VERSION rpool 31 bhigh@basestar:~$ zfs list -o name,version NAME VERSION rpool 5 rpool/ROOT 5 rpool/ROOT/snv_151 5 rpool/dump - rpool/rsrv 5 rpool/swap - I think that the version that matters (for your purposes) is the ZFS version. It should be set when using 'send -R' and having 'zfs receive' create the destination datasets. I recommend testing however. > If this is the case, what are my strategies?

You can set the zpool version when you create the pool, and you can set the zfs version when you create the dataset. I'm not sure that you'll need to set the pool version to anything lower if the dataset version is correct though. You should test this, however. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
