Does zfs send create a completely identical file system on the receive =
side? e.g. same inode numbers, etc?

I=E2=80=99ve been using  ZFS in conjunction with SAMBA to perform Apple =
Time Machine backuos. It works like a charm.
But I might need to move the dataset to another machine or to a newly =
created filesystem with larger drives.
I know TM somehow fingerprints the backup filesystem and is able to =
detect when it=E2=80=99s moved to another disk.
I wonder if that=E2=80=99s the case in my instance?=20

If I can zfs send  and receive it, creating a identical filesystem down =
to the inode level. I would think that moving the TM backup filesystem=20=

would work.

Any similar experience out there?

Thanks,

Joe
