It does seem to be a zfs version issue which kinda makes sense. If I
create the zfs image on a RELENG10 vm it works.  The only issue is that
its quite slow to do on the VM as its a LOT of disk IO.  Is there a way
to create an older version of a zfs file system on a newer version of
FreeBSD so I can get the best of both worlds ?
