I've added support for creating a BE from a snapshot to the design doc and will
add it to beadm soon. The semantics looks as follows:
beadm create [-a] [-f] [-z] [-e non-activeBeName | -s snapshot] [-p
zpool]
[-u zonename:filesystem_name[,filesystem_name...]...]
beName
Seems if we display snapshots and now allow creation of a BE from a snapshot we
should also allow explicit deletion of snapshots and possibly creation of BE
snapshots. I propose adding the following to the CLI :
beadm destroy [-f] beName | snapshot
and
beadm create -s snapshot [-r retention] beName
If -r isn't provided then the default retention policy is used as defined by
libbe.
