   36 .Sh NAME
   37 .Nm zfs-promote
   38 .Nd promote clone dataset to no longer depend on origin snapshot
   39 .Sh SYNOPSIS
   40 .Nm zfs
   41 .Cm promote
   42 .Ar clone
   43 .
   44 .Sh DESCRIPTION
   45 The
   46 .Nm zfs Cm promote
   47 command makes it possible to destroy the dataset that the clone was created
   48 from.
   49 The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so that the origin
   50 dataset becomes a clone of the specified dataset.
   51 .Pp
   52 The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
   53 now owned by the promoted clone.
   54 The space they use moves from the origin dataset to the promoted clone, so
   55 enough space must be available to accommodate these snapshots.
   56 No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space accounting is
   57 adjusted.
   58 The promoted clone must not have any conflicting snapshot names of its own.
   59 The
   60 .Nm zfs Cm rename
   61 subcommand can be used to rename any conflicting snapshots.
   62 .
   63 .Sh EXAMPLES
   64 .\" These are, respectively, examples 10 from zfs.8
   65 .\" Make sure to update them bidirectionally
   66 .Ss Example 1 : No Promoting a ZFS Clone
   67 The following commands illustrate how to test out changes to a file system, and
   68 then replace the original file system with the changed one, using clones, clone
   69 promotion, and renaming:
   70 .Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
   71 .No # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/project/production
   72   populate /pool/project/production with data
   73 .No # Nm zfs Cm snapshot Ar pool/project/production Ns @ Ns Ar today
   74 .No # Nm zfs Cm clone Ar pool/project/production@today pool/project/beta
   75   make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
   76 .No # Nm zfs Cm promote Ar pool/project/beta
   77 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
   78 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/beta pool/project/production
   79   once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
   80 .No # Nm zfs Cm destroy Ar pool/project/legacy
