As I understand it, the snapshot of a set is used as a reference by the clone.
So the clone is initially a set of pointers to the snapshot. That's why it is
so fast to create.
How can I "separate" it from the snapshot ? (so that df -k or zfs list will
display for a 48G drive
pool/fs1 4G 40G
pool/clone 4G 40G
instead of
pool/fs1 4G 44G
pool/clone 4G 44G )
I hope I am clear enough :/
There is no way to "separate" a clone from its origin snapshot.
I think the numbers you're posting are:
FS REFD AVAIL
pool/fs1 4G 40G
pool/clone 4G 40G
So you want it to say that less space is available than really is?
Perhaps what you want is to set a reservation on the clone for its
initial size, so that you will be guaranteed to have enough space to
overwrite its initial contents with new contents of the same size?
