Most subcommands got their own manpages (e.g. create). Some related commands grouped into a single manpage and symlinks created (e.g. set, get, and inherit). I did this when topics were either too short to warrant their own file or so interrelated that a user would want to refer between commands in the same file. Corrected .Sx internal references to .Xr cross refs; lots of .Sx references from when text was all in zfs.8 needed to be changed to .Xr zfs-$SUBCOMMAND 8 cross references. Divided subcommand list in zfs(8) into sections of related functionality. This required writing new descriptions for some commands. Preserved ".Os Linux", `.Os` macro parsing behavior differs between mandoc from the "BSD" mandoc package (available on Ubuntu) and man from Ubuntu's man-db package, which calls groff to format the manpages. Groff handles the `.Os` macro differently and wrongly, defaulting it to "BSD" in `/usr/share/groff/*/tmac/mdoc/doc-common`, instead of getting the default from `uname`. A future set of changes will introduce build-time preprocessing of manpages for platform-specific documentation and can insert the correct operating system name. Added SEE ALSO sections, the newly-divided zfs-*.8 subcommand man pages needed their own SEE ALSO sections pointing to related subcommands and, in some cases, documentation from other packages (e.g. zfs-share.8).

.Nd Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its origin snapshot.

.Cm promote

.Ar clone-filesystem
|

.Xc
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm promote
|
|
command makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created
|
|
from.
|
|
The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so that the origin
|
|
file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
|
|
now owned by the promoted clone.
|
|
The space they use moves from the origin file system to the promoted clone, so
|
|
enough space must be available to accommodate these snapshots.
|
|
No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space accounting is
|
|
adjusted.
|
|
The promoted clone must not have any conflicting snapshot names of its own.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr zfs-rename 8
|
|
subcommand can be used to rename any conflicting snapshots.
