But of course recursive snapshot creation/deletion would be a practical prerequisite to recursive send/receive, since in that case read-only snapshots would need to be created in ordered to be sent, and similarly created on the receive side to recreate the nested snapshot tree on the send side. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
