I didn't ask the original question, but I have a scenario where I
want to use clone as well and encounter a (designed?) behaviour I am
trying to understand.
I create a filesystem A with ZFS and modify it to a point where I
create a snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I clone that snapshot to create a new
filesystem B. I seem to have two filesystem "entities" I can make
independant modifications and snapshots with/on/from.
The problem I am running into is that when modifying A and wanting to
rollback to the snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't do that as long as the clone
B
is mounted.
Is this a case where I would benefit from the ability to sperate the
clone? Or is this something not possible with ZFS?
Hmm, actually this is unexpected; you shouldn't have to unmount the
clone to do the rollback on the origin filesystem. I think that our
command-line tool is simply being a bit overzealous. I've filed bug
6472202 to track this issue; it should be pretty straightforward to fix.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
