I think it's called a replication stream package. I also have a new hard drive. Then I create the freebsd-boot, freebsd-swap and freebsd-zfs partitions on the new drive, install the bootloader on it. Now what command exactly do I use to restore the system from test1.zfs? I have tried "zfs receive" with different combinations of options but each time I and with some error message like "destination exists..." Please refer me to a good howto on restoring a system from a replication stream package. TIA. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
