I should have wrote "receive fromnts" above instead of "receive sysmod". And of course as someone pointed out, if you do the receive with "DELETEPKG", it gets deleted anyway after the process is complete. Here, I've set up a 4 3990-9 volume SMPNTS zFS that everyone shares. I have a cron script that deletes everything older than 90 days, so I don't care if anyone uses DELETEPKG or not.
