Im setting up (testing) replication between 2x FN boxes (FreeNAS-11.2-U7 on both, using legacy gui), and i see on the "Add Replication -> Volume/Dataset drop-down menu" i only have the options to choose Datasets where i have explicitly setup a periodic snapshot task for that specific dataset.

My question is:
I have recursive snapshots setup on "pool A" (so all of its child datasets are having snaps taken), so why cant a choose "dataset A-1" (which is a child dataset of pool A) ?


clearly dataset A-1 has snaps being taken via the recursive setting being checked on "pool A"'s periodic snapshot task.

(i get that the solution is to just add a new periodic snapshot task directly for "dataset A-1" , but im curious as to the reason/restriction here in the replication drop down menu)

thanks
