Not at this time no. > 3) In a large pool with several file systems is there any way to image a > single file system? Take a snapshot (using zfs snapshot) then use 'zfs send' to archive that into an "image". Note the this isn't quite the same as doing a dd of a ufs filesystem since you can't "mount" that image on its own you would need to 'zfs recv' it into another pool if you want to look at it using normal filesystem tools. -- Darren J Moffat
