Replication of encrypted zvols

Hi all,

I'm running proxmox 8.2.2 on encrypted ZFS, basically as described at https://privsec.dev/posts/linux/using-native-zfs-encryption-with-proxmox/. I know this isn't supported, but it works fine, except for zvol replication. Replication wants to preserve properties, and sending an encrypted zvol would require using raw (-w) mode. Using raw wouldn't do much good, as it would produce its own encryption root in the target, but is there any way to replicate without preserving properties, or at least encryption? I'm not expert enough to tell what problems this might cause, although I've moved my zvols around between my two proxmoxes successfully with just plain "zfs send ... | zfs receive ...", and the receiver has just inherited the encryption from the parent.

Thanks,

apl
