Hi guys,
we are proposing a customer a couple of X4500 (24 Tb) used as NAS (i.e. NFS server). Both server will contain the same files and should be accessed by different clients at the same time (i.e. they should be both active)
So we need to guarantee that both x4500 contain the same files:
We could simply copy the contents on both x4500 , which is an option because the "new files" are in a limited number and rate , but we would really like to use ZFS send & receive commands:

AFAIK the commands works fine but generally speaking are there any known limitations ? And, in detail , it is not clear if the receiving ZFS file system could be used regularly while it is in "receiving mode": in poor words is it possible to read and export in nfs, files from a ZFS file system while it is receiving update from another ZFS send ?

Clearly until the new updates are received and applied the old copy would be used

TIA
Stefano
