 ====== 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.

+The problem is the plex jail is 64Gb before exporting 48Gb exported. The database for it should probably be separate from the Jail.

+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).

-It has not been backported. We will do that ourselves to get this working.
+It has not been backported FreeNAS 11, we will do that ourselves so we can continue to use the "iocage import" process without hacking about with workaround commands.
