Just want to make sure im not going to completely screw myself. I want to move all of my data from pool A to pool B so i can destroy and reconfigure pool A. If i do a recursive full file system replication from A to B and then rollback the snapshots on B, that will do the equivalent of an actual copy/rsync and physically put the actual files onto pool B so they would have no connection/dependency to pool A, correct?
I would just copy them and be done with it, but i dont feel like redoing my dataset tree and permissions/ownership all again.
Yes.

The forums are so much more boring, now that they got rid of the minimum character requirement.

Why rollback?
Rolling back is destroying data.
If you want the files from A on B, replicate from A to B. Don’t rollback or you will undo the replication!
How would a rollback destroy data if I do it on the latest snapshot that gets replicated right after it is done? I actually did a replication before, then deleting the snapshots on pool B deleted everything, so doesn’t that mean only a replication doesn’t actually deposit “real” data?
