I have two FreeNAS servers running the latest 9.10 build.

Once a snapshot replication has completed, is it possible to change the replicated share on the receiving server into a normal writable shared dataset?

This will be a once of task, scripts or scheduled tasks wouldn't be required.

On the replica system via Shell use:

zfs set readonly=off tank/Replica/Data

'tank' being the pool name 'Replica' being the parent dataset of the replica system and 'Data' being the parent dataset of the primary system. All child datasets of the parent will inherit that setting.

Thanks Johnny - I was about to try using CIFS and a windows machine to copy them over but this should make it much faster. I will test it tonight.
