same_as Setting in sanoid.conf about sanoid HOT 2 CLOSED

Why aren't you simply using recursive=yes on [rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_jhxyhq/var]?

Even if you want to make small changes between the child datasets, you can accomplish that with overrides, eg:

[rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_jhxyhq/var]
        frequently = 0
        hourly = 24
        daily = 5
        recursive = yes

[rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_jhxyhq/var/log]
        daily = 3

[rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_jhxyhq/var/lib]
        hourly = 5

... or whatever. Having declared recursive=yes on the parent dataset var, the datasets beneath var automatically get all of var's settings applied to them, without any need to specify the child datasets in sanoid.conf at all.

In the case that you need mostly the same settings but want to override one or two, as you can see above, you can also declare a module for that child dataset, which will have already inherited the settings from the parent where you declared recursive=yes, and you can override the individual setting(s) you'd like different in that module.

I also note that you're apparently not using any templates. I would strongly recommend taking a look at and either using or creating your own versions of the template_production, template_backup, and template_hotspare provided in the OEM sanoid.conf; they'll make your configs easier to read and parse, and potentially save you from "oops I forgot that one thing" type errors as well.

The recursive setting does exactly what I need. I'll look into the templates as you suggest. Thanks for the great tool set!
