First - I'm running zfsonlinux 0.6.0-rc6, on CentOS 6.0 x86_64.

OpenSolaris 10 snv_137 machine does a zfs send -DRp of a filesystem containing multiple snapshots. This is a replication package, with dedup processing enabled on the stream but not necessarily the filesystem itself. (Doesn't seem to matter.)

I'm receiving on zfsonlinux. The first snapshot is created, then the receive aborts with "invalid backup format", I think it is.

I can restart the transfer at the snapshot where it aborted and it will transfer one more snapshot, then again stop.

Removing the -D flag on send avoids the above behavior; I can successfully transfer the entire filesystem with all snapshots. This is an apparent issue with zfsonlinux, because I have successfully replicated several filesystems including the -D flag, to a Solaris 11 Express machine.
