ZFS properties (like compression) do not get sent with "zfs send". I believe there is an RFE about this.

Using Solaris 10, Update 2 (b9a) I''ve just used "zfs send | zfs receive" to move some filesystems from one disk to another (I''m sure this is the quickest move I''ve ever done!) but in doing so, I lost "zfs set compression=on" on those filesystems. If I create the filesystems first and enable compression, I can''t receive to them (results in an error.) Is there some way around this? Patch? RFE? Darren
You want:
6421959 want zfs send to preserve properties (''zfs send -p'')
Which Matt is currently working on.
