ZFS Sync to restore files using new recordsize on destination?

[Kuro Houou]

Hi, I am trying to do a restore of my main NAS from my backup server that was getting it's backup through the builtin ZFS Sync feature that uses snapshots to send changes to the backup server. I have determined I need to change my recordsize on my main server to get better performance however I believe when I do the restore it's going to restore the files with their existing recordsize which I don't want. Is there anyway to force resetting the recordsize during the transfer so it uses the new record size of 1M vs the backups 128k?

Yeah, thats what I am finding as well.. it seems there is no way to grow the recordsize from what I can tell :( Guess ill have to do an Rsync restore instead..
