I've had people mention that WAFL does indeed support clones of snapshots. Is this a "what version of WAFL" problem?
apparently so, but it is rather new from the impression given from this site: http://www.tournament.org.il/run/index.php?/archives/67-Ontap-Simulator,-and-some-insights-about-NetApp.html "I believe that the new "clone" method is based on the WAFL built-in snapshot capabilities. Although WAFL Snapshots are supposed to be space conservatives, they require a guaranteed space on the aggregation prior to commiting the clone itself. If the aggregation is too crowded, they will fail with the error message "not enough space". If there is enough for snapshots, but not enough to guarantee a full clone, you'll get a message saying "space not guaranteed"." James Dickens uadmin.blogspot.com
