I think I see why you may want it, but I don't think you'll get that behavior from ZFS without hacking it. "zpool import -R root" is probably your best bet. Alas altroot property is not persistent and the pool would have to reimported on reboot. Another option may be to backup/restore properties separately and ignore properties during send/receive. --Artem
