Public bug reported:
I have a zvol containing a Windows image for a virtual machine. After
restarting the system a node under /dev/zvol/... was not created for the
virtual disk and no amount of prompting by `udevadm trigger` helped.
Instead a create a snapshot from the most recent hourly backup:
# zfs clone rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda@hourly07
rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-new
# zfs promote rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-new
cannot promote 'rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-new': not a cloned filesystem
(didn't work here but carried on assuming something can be sorted later)
# zfs rename rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-old
# zfs rename rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-new rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda
Entries in /dev appeared and I could start the virtual machine. Trying
to promote the clone gives 'not a cloned filesystem' message. I later
renamed the old zvol and tried to cleanup:
# zfs rename rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda-old rpool/to-be-deleted
# zfs destroy rpool/to-be-deleted@hourly07
cannot destroy 'rpool/to-be-deleted@hourly07': snapshot has dependent clones
use '-R' to destroy the following datasets:
rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda@hourly09
rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda@hourly10
rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda
# zfs promote rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda
cannot promote 'rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda': not a cloned filesystem
# zfs get origin rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda origin rpool/to-be-deleted@hourly07 -
# zfs get clones rpool/to-be-deleted@hourly07
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/to-be-deleted@hourly07 clones rpool/vm/windows/windows10/hda -
The dependency between seems to be as expected. This small test fails
in the same way:
# zfs create -V1G rpool/vm/test
# zfs snapshot rpool/vm/test@test2
# zfs clone rpool/vm/test@test2 rpool/vm/test3
# zfs promote rpool/vm/test3
cannot promote 'rpool/vm/test3': not a cloned filesystem
# zfs get origin rpool/vm/test3
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/vm/test3 origin rpool/vm/test@test2 -
# zfs get clones rpool/vm/test@test2
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/vm/test@test2 clones rpool/vm/test3 -
All the zpool members are ONLINE and no errors are reported.
