Hi Till,

Thanks a lot for your good explanation. It is really confusing as in the manual 
it states that refquota doesn’t take descendants or snaps into account. I might 
play around with bookmarks later. For now I guess I can use:

zfs receive -x refquota to exclude the property?


How about I have started to recursively replicate a dataset and it failed on 
one of the child datasets due to the refquota issue. Can I somehow resume the 
replication of the parent dataset or do I have to replicate the child dataset 
first using incremental snapshots?

Normally I only use the built in auto sync feature on our nexenta storage, but 
this time I have to sync back the data Manually to the nexenta system.

Cheers,
Oliver
