[SOLVED] Is it possible to leave behind source ZFS storage when migrating a container?

[whataboutpereira]

I can't find any info about it, but should it not be possible to not delete the source storage (ZFS) after migrating a container, so that it could be replicated/migrated back more efficiently later?

Would it be possible at all or is there something with ZFS snapshots preventing such a scenario?

if you use replication that is exactly what happens if not, then we have to delete the source volumes on the source node after migration, else each migration would create another copy and you'd quickly run out of space..

This is awkward. I did a manual replication and then migration and then... Checked the wrong pool for if data was left behind... Thanks for clarification! Missing the obvious is sometimes my forte, it seems.
