Cloning a NAS Volume
Cloning a NAS volume creates a writable copy of the NAS volume. This copy is useful to test against non-production data sets in a test
environment without impacting the production file system environment. Most operations that can be performed on NAS volumes can also
be performed on clone NAS volumes, such as resizing, deleting, and configuring SMB shares, NFS exports, snapshots, replication, NDMP,
and so on.
The clone NAS volume is created from a snapshot (base snapshot) taken on the original NAS volume (base volume). No space is
consumed by the clone NAS volume until new data is stored or it is modified.
NAS Volume Clone Defaults
Clone NAS volumes have the following default values:
• The volumes have the same size as their base volumes, are thin-provisioned, and have a reserved space of 0 (and therefore consume
no space).
• Quota usage is copied from the base snapshot of the base volume.
• Quota rules have the default definitions (as with a new NAS volume). Directory quotas have the same definitions as the base volume
at the time of the snapshot.
