[GLLUG] Cloning a zfs data set to restore on another system

[Jason L. Froebe]

Moving a ZFS file system from one system to another is really really
simple.

Create a snapshot of the file system (aka data set):
zfs snapshot vol0/jason at 1st

Use zfs & ssh to send/receive the snapshot:
zfs send vol0/jason at 1st | ssh root at 192.168.0.14 "zfs receive vol0/jason"
Confirmed to work with *BSD, Linux (kernel ZFS) and Solaris 2.10 (x86-64).

With btrfs it wasn't very reliable last year when I was testing it.
Hopefully it has been fixed.
