 ====== Importing Plex jail failure ======
-I was relocating my jails from one storage pool to another. When I went to import the Plex jail it failed. The problem is the plex jail is a 64Gb monster. The database for it should be separate from the Jail now that I know this.

+When I went to import the Plex jail it failed. The problem is the plex jail is 64Gb before exporting 48Gb exported. The database for it should probably be separate from the Jail.
-FreeNAS 11 has a defect. It tries to uncompress the jail root into memory before sending it to ZFS RECV
+This was the first post that I ran across on this issue

+Which led me to discover FreeNAS 11 has a defect. It tries to uncompress the jail root into memory before sending it to ZFS RECV.  That's right, we load the 64Gb file into memory (BANG).
