[Pkg] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1204] zoneadm cannot create clone of zone from snapshot

[illumos project]

Issue #1204 has been updated by Jim Klimov.

File ips-clone.patch added

After addressing some review by Cedric Blancher (mostly to add comments, ultimately) and applying a few minor fixes such as ensuring that the new zone stays mounted even if it was not sys-unconfig'ed, I made this new patch.

https://www.illumos.org/issues/1204

Author: Alexander Eremin
Status: Feedback
Priority: Normal

Target version: 
Difficulty: Medium
Tags: clone


Bug from https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5940 still exist, i.e.:

~# zoneadm -z test2 clone -s rpool/zones/test/ROOT/zbe-1 at test_snap
/usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone: -s: unknown option

brand-specific usage: clone {sourcezone}
usage:	clone [-m method] [-s <ZFS snapshot>] [brand-specific args] zonename
	Clone the installation of another zone.  The -m option can be used to
	specify 'copy' which forces a copy of the source zone.  The -s option
	can be used to specify the name of a ZFS snapshot that was taken from
	a previous clone command.  The snapshot will be used as the source
	instead of creating a new ZFS snapshot.  All other arguments are passed
	to the brand clone function; see brands(5) for more information.
