[root@san2]# zfs snapshot san/sr@snap [root@san2]# zfs clone san/sr@snap san/sr5 [root@san2]# zfs promote san/sr5 cannot promote 'san/sr5': dataset is busy Being a freshly created dataset I'm not sure how it would be busy. Are there any caveats to using zfs promote on zvols? The snapshots are of ext3 formatted zvols. I don't really need to promote them but wanted to in case I needed to destroy the source for some reason. Thanks, -- Dave Cundiff System Administrator A2Hosting, Inc http://www.a2hosting.com
