I only have one comment regarding the zfs pool version handling:
C.2. Version Compatibility
To get the full benefit of the options described in this case, the ZFS
pool needs to be at version 22 (received properties) or later. Before
that, the following options behave differently:
receive -o If the specified property is present in the send stream,
it is replaced by the value specified after the -o option,
since the sent value cannot be overridden locally.
receive -x If the specified property is present in the send stream,
it is simply ignored, since it cannot be overridden
locally.
send -b This option is ignored. Received properties cannot be sent
in favor of local settings because the two cannot be
distinguished. All datasets appear to have never been
received and their settings are sent as original
properties.
Is there not a concern that the handling of the latter two usages will
lead to surprising results if the administrator is not immediately aware
of the version of the appropriate pool? Would failing these operations
be a viable option?
-Seb
