again, same behavior as when the pool was local, and that's why I couldn't
copy it to the new location.

The new pool is on a ZFS filesystem, and df does work, so:

dh -h = 310G

df -i
Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse%
8989178480 5777551 8983400929    1%




what can I do with it, or check on it, to pin-point the issue?
