I was trying to do this for something with zfs send/receive (I wanted to
receive a newer zfs snapshot onto a clone of a copied filesystem, without doing
any rollbacks.).
I.E I have 2 copies of a filesystem with snapshots in common, on different
servers. I want to receive something from server2, but not rollback to the
shared snapshot.
I ended up messing around promoted clones and
zfs send -I promotedclone@snapshot1 originalfs@snapshot2| zfs receive newclone
which produced a clone containing @snapshot2 (so I could do zfs send -i/receive
to the clone based on @snapshot2 ,although not @snapshot1, which worked fine
but used some extra space for the extra snapshot)
Is there a proper way to 'zfs clone filesystem@snapshot clone' and have
'clone@snapshot' available?
Incidentally, is that zfs send -I thing supposed to happen? I didn't see any
documentation for that anywhere, although it sort of did what I wanted in the
end.
