zfs-clone — clone snapshot of ZFS dataset

       See  the  “Clones”  section of zfsconcepts(7) for details.  The target dataset can be located anywhere in
       the ZFS hierarchy, and is created as the same type as the original.

       -oproperty=value
               Sets the specified property; see zfscreate for details.

       -p      Creates all the non-existing parent datasets.  Datasets created in this manner are  automatically
               mounted  according  to  the  mountpoint  property  inherited  from  their  parent.  If the target
               filesystem or volume already exists, the operation completes successfully.

Example1: Creating a ZFS Clone
       The  following  command  creates  a  writable  file  system  whose  initial  contents  are  the  same  as
       pool/home/bob@yesterday.
             #zfsclonepool/home/bob@yesterdaypool/cloneExample2: Promoting a ZFS Clone
       The following commands illustrate how to test out changes to a file system, and then replace the original
       file system with the changed one, using clones, clone promotion, and renaming:
             # zfscreatepool/project/production
               populate /pool/project/production with data
             # zfssnapshotpool/project/production@today
             # zfsclonepool/project/production@todaypool/project/beta
               make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
             # zfspromotepool/project/beta
             # zfsrenamepool/project/productionpool/project/legacy
             # zfsrenamepool/project/betapool/project/production
               once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
             # zfsdestroypool/project/legacy
