rsync between datasets (FreeNAS only ?)

The –no-perms seems mandatory. If not present, the receiving side refuses to create a temporary file to get the contents and the copy aborts.

rsync -ah --one-file-system --info=progress2 --no-perms /mnt/pool/dataset1/stuff /mnt/pool/dataset2/
rsync -avzh --chown="DOM\user":"DOM\group" --progress --no-perms /mnt/pool/dataset1/stuff /mnt/pool/dataset2/
