It would be good if I can run it without ssh overhead but I don't found 
any example on the internet how to use Sanoid / Syncoid without SSH. It 
looks like ssh is requirement and mbuffer and pv is optional.

Nice trick. Next time I will need to move fet TB of zfs data I will try 
different solution instead of Syncoid to avoid slow ssh. Netcat or 
direct mbuffer listening on TCP port seems better.

Kind regards
