[lustre-discuss] zfs ? Re: interrupted tar archive of an mdt ldiskfs

[Alexander I Kulyavtsev]

What about zfs MDT backup/restore in lustre 2.5.3?

I took a look at the referenced manual pages - it tells nothing about zfs MDT backup. 
I believed we just use zfs send/receive in this case. Do I need to fix OI / FID mapping? 
Shall I run offline lfsck and wait???

Alex.
