Applying Different Property Values to a ZFS Snapshot Stream

You can send a ZFS snapshot stream with a certain file system property value, and then either specify a different local property value when the snapshot stream is received or specify that the original property value be used when the snapshot stream is received to re-create the original file system. In addition, you can disable a file system property when the snapshot stream is received.

To revert a local property value to the received value, if any, use the zfs inherit -S command. If a property does not have a received value, the behavior of the -S option is the same as if you did not include the option. If the property does have a received value, the zfs inherit command masks the received value with the inherited value until issuing a zfs inherit -S command reverts it to the received value.
You can determine the columns displayed by the zfs get. Use the -o option to include the new non-default RECEIVED column. Use the -o all option to include all columns, including RECEIVED.
To include properties in the send stream without the -R option, use the -p option.

To use the last element of the sent snapshot name to determine the new snapshot name, use the -e option.

The following example sends the poolA/bee/cee@1 snapshot to the poolD/eee file system and uses only the last element (cee@1) of the snapshot name to create the received file system and snapshot.

$ zfs list -rt all poolA
NAME              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
poolA             134K   134G    23K  /poolA
poolA/bee          44K   134G    23K  /poolA/bee
poolA/bee/cee      21K   134G    21K  /poolA/bee/cee
poolA/bee/cee@1      0      -    21K  -
$ zfs send -R poolA/bee/cee@1 | zfs receive -e poolD/eee
$ zfs list -rt all poolD
NAME              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
poolD             134K   134G    23K  /poolD
poolD/eee          44K   134G    23K  /poolD/eee
poolD/eee/cee      21K   134G    21K  /poolD/eee/cee
poolD/eee/cee@1      0      -    21K  -
