Symptoms

Trying to move an encrypted zfs dataset to a new zone fails.

Steps to reproduce the issue :


1) create an encrypted ZFS dataset : zfs create -o encryption=on -o keysource=passphrase,file:///root/zfs/zfs-enc-key-prd rpool/zones/ABCD-prd-as2
2) create and install a new zone : zonecfg -z ABCD-prd-as2 -f ncbs-prd-as2.cfg ; zoneadm -z ncbs-prd-as2 install
3) create a zfs snap : zfs snap -r rpool/zones/ABCD-prd-as2
4) make a copy of the snap : zfs send -r rpool/zones/ABCD-prd-as2 | gzip > ABCD-prd-as2.zfs.gz
5) uninstall the just installed zone : zoneadm -z ABCD-prd-as2 uninstall
6) try to install the zone again from the ZFS stream : zoneadm -z ABCD-prd-as2 install -a ncbs-prd-as2.zfs.gz -p

Last step will fail with the following error :
