He was asking if it's possible to do "zfs receive" on a system that doesn't natively support zfs. The answer is no, unless you want to consider fuse or similar. I can't speak about zfs on fuse or anything - except that I personally wouldn't trust it. There are differences even between zfs on solaris versus freebsd, vs whatever, all of which are fully supported, much better than zfs on fuse. But different people use and swear by all of these things - so maybe it would actually be a good solution for you. The direction I would personally go would be an openindiana virtual machine to do the zfs receive. > > I was thinking maybe the zfs-fuse-on-linux project may have suitable bits? > > I'm sure most Linux distros have cat hehe. Anyway. Answered above. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
