ZFS Send Receive compressed dataset

[g1ngerninja]

Hi All,

I've been playing around with 2 NAS boxes moving data from one to the other using ZFS send receive.

But when I've sent a compressed lz4 dataset to another NAS with this command :-

Code:

zfs send RAID6/Timemachine@Snap1 | ssh 192.168.1.250 zfs recv RAID/Timemachine

The resultant dataset on the destination NAS doesn't contain the compression set on the source. The data copied over just fine but the dataset isn't an exact copy of the source.

I've read https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18752_01/html/819-5461/gbchx.html and it states

The original file system to be received must not exist while it is being transferred.

So I didn't create the dataset on the destination, should I have done this first?
What am I missing here?

Thanks

Just turn on compression on the receiving side before transferring data.
