That is not correct. Years ago, there was a comment in the man page that said this: "The format of the stream is evolving. No backwards compatibility is guaranteed. You may not be able to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS." But in the last several years, backward/forward compatibility has always been preserved, so despite the warning, it was never a problem. In more recent versions, the man page says: "The format of the stream is committed. You will be able to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS." _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
