Yeah, and / is always going to be a bit of a problem ;-)

I think that might work, but it means I'd have to write a script to
traverse the filesystems in the root pool, which would be a bit fiddly.
If there was a '-nomount' flag to zfs receive, snapshotting & saving
a pool would be just 2 commands.
Looks like a RFE is needed to me...
