Public bug reported:

After I tried to back-up my datapools from Ubuntu 19.10 to FreeBSD 12.0
as I have done since June each week, I found out it did not work
anymore. The regression occurred after I reinstalled Ubuntu on my new
nvme drive. I also had to reorganize my own datapools/datasets, because
they either moved to the nvme drive or they had to be located on 2 HDDs
instead of 3. I had one datapool that still works, the datapool
containing my archives and it is the datapool, that has NOT been
reorganized. I tried for a whole long day to get the backup working
again, but I failed. I compared the properties from datapool and
dataset, but did not see any problem there. Only a lot of new features
and properties not present before and not present in FreeBSD. I used
FreeBSD, because I use for backup an old 32-bits Pentium.

I have two complaints:
- the Ubuntu upgrade did cost me the compatibility with FreeBSD. Open-ZFS? :(
- the system transfers the dataset and at the end of a long transfer it decides 
to quit and the error messages are completely useless and self contradicting. 
On the first try it say the dataset does exist and on the second try it says it 
does NOT exist. One of the two is completely wrong. Some consistency and some 
clearer error messages would be helpful for the user. 

See the following set of strange set error messages on two tries:

root@VM-Host-Ryzen:/home/bertadmin# /sbin/zfs send -c dpool/dummy@191130 | ssh 
192.168.1.100 zfs receive zroot/hp-data/dummy
cannot receive new filesystem stream: destination 'zroot/hp-data/dummy' exists
must specify -F to overwrite it
root@VM-Host-Ryzen:/home/bertadmin# /sbin/zfs send -c dpool/dummy@191130 | ssh 
192.168.1.100 zfs receive -F zroot/hp-data/dummy
cannot receive new filesystem stream: dataset does not exist

A 2nd subset of my backup is stored on the laptop and that still works.
I also compared the properties with those of my laptop, that still has
its original datapools of begin of the year. I aligned the properties of
FreeBSD with those of my laptop, but it did not help.

I attach the properties of the datapool and dataset from both FreeBSD
and Ubuntu.
