Is it possible to send an encrpyted snapshot to a remote? #601

Closed dalto8 closed 1 year ago

dalto8 commented 1 year ago

I am trying to send an encrypted snapshot to a remote pool that is also encrypted.

When I do that I receive this error when I run with --debug:

cannot receive new filesystem stream: zfs receive -F cannot be used to destroy an encrypted filesystem or overwrite an unencrypted one with an encrypted one

I am not sure exactly what is happening because neither side is unencrypted.

The dataset on the dest side is newly created, empty and encrypted.

After some further testing, it works if I seed the initial snapshot with a manual zfs recv -F -d -x encryption which causes it to inherit the encryption from the receiving pool.

I suppose it is not the end of the world if I need to manually seed them but it certainly decreases the automation provided by znapzend.(Assuming there isn't a better way to do this I have not found yet)
