When creating a clone, the clone operation just copies metadata
producing a mountable fileset. Directory entries point back to the
original files, but a copy of the original is made in the cloned FS
when a write operation occurs.
The clone is on the same domain as the original FS. There must be
sufficient space to make the necessary file copies, otherwise the clone
drops out.
Once you have finished with the clone, it should be removed.
Example backup script.
# clonefs root_domain root clone_root
# mount -t advfs root_domain#clone_root /mnt
# vdump 0u /mnt
# rmfset root_domain clone_root
Thanks to the following for their input. I can now go forth and orate
with confidence!
