>Description:
cloned zvol's from snapshots do not appear in dev tree.
When creating a zfs volume and snapshoting this volume the volume and snapshot
appear just fine in the /dev tree (under /dev/zvol/...). However, when
creating a clone of a snapshot, the dev tree is not updated with the new clone
zvol. The only way I have been able to have the cloned zvol appear in the dev
tree is to completely export the zpool and reimport it. Once the zpool has
been reimported the /dev/zvol clone device appears.
It might be related but deleted zvol snapshots also remain and continue to
appear in the zvol dev tree after the zvol snapshot has been deleted.
>How-To-Repeat:
create zfs zvol volume
snapshot the zvol volume
create a clone from the zvol volume snapshot
try to access the zvol device from the zvol device tree under
/dev/zvol/<poolname>/<zvol>
No device exists
Export the zpool (zpool export <poolname>)
import the zpool (zpool import <poolname>)
The zvol device now appears under the device tree in the proper /dev/zvol area.
>Fix:
Pure speculation at this point:
update the zfs clone code to check if the cloned dataset is a volume and create
a new zvol device if the clone is a volume from the snapshot.
clean/reindex the zvol dev tree when zvol snapshots are destroyed or cloned
