[indiana-discuss] zfs snapshot

zfs snapshot

It is my understanding from the documentation that a snapshot can be either a complete system 'zfs snapshot zpl_slim at today' or directory structure 
'zfs snapshot -r /export/home/jhawk at today' the -r being recursive.

Thus if I do 'zfs snapshot zpl_slim at today' and then a clone I simply destroy 
the clone and promote the snapshot to return to original state.

 example:
 # zfs snapshot zpl_slim at today
 # zfs clome zpl_slim at today zpl_slim/test
 # zfs destroy zpl_slim/test
 # zfs promote zpl_slim at today
 Back to original state
 
 Is this accurate?
