it seems taking a clone always requires taking a snapshot first and provide this as a parameter to the zfs clone command.
now wouldnt it be more natural way of usage when I intend to create a clone, that by default the zfs clone command will create the needed snapshot from the current image internally as part of taking the clone unless I explicitely specify that I do want to take a clone of a specific snapshot ? along the lines of "I do want to take a clone yet - I dont care about snapshots". thanks --- frankB This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
