Well, slightly _less_ disruptive perhaps. We can zfs send to another file system on the same system, but different set of disks. We then disable NFS shares on the original, do a final zfs send to sync, then share out the "new" undeduplicated file system with the same name. Hopefully the window here is short enough that NFS clients are able to recover gracefully. We'd then wipe out the "old" zpool, recreate and do the reverse to get data back onto it......
