Error when migrating zfs data

[enry]

Setup is two Volumes.

Volume01 is 4 disks (2x2TB, 2x4TB) - 3.7TB in use
Volume02 is 2 disks (2x6TB)

I want to migrate the data from Volume01 to Volume02. Following the excellent directions I migrated the system data to the boot disk and then tried to do the snapshot and send/receive. Then I get this:

root@debbie:~ # zfs snapshot -r Volume01@migrate
root@debbie:~ # zfs send -R Volume01@migrate | zfs receive -F Volume02
internal error: Invalid argument
warning: cannot send 'Volume01/.vm_cache/boot2docker@migrate': signal received
Abort (core dumped)
root@debbie:~ #

This is a system I've had for a number of years (and migrated through Coral). I'm not using docker at all (two jails and three VMs). So my question is: What now?

It looks to me like the syntax is slightly wrong. Please take a look here (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/819-5461/gbciq.html#gbcya) for some excellent examples.

I think you should be doing something like this....

zfs snapshot -r Volume01/FILESYSTEMNAME@migrate

Then zfs send Volume01/FILESYSTEMNAME@migrate | zfs receive Volume02/NEWFILESYSTEMNAME

I send snapshots to another server for archivng purposes so my commands are different than what you are attempting to do, hopefully the above works for you

The documentation says I can snapshot a volume, which is what I want to do:

Code:

Snapshots are created by using the zfs snapshot command, which takes as its only argument the name of the snapshot to create. The snapshot name is specified as follows:

filesystem@snapname
volume@snapname
