Hi all,
I have a pool called tank/home/foo and I want to rename it to
tank/home/bar. What''s the best way to do this (the zfs and
zpool man pages don''t have a "rename" option)?
One way I can think of is to create a clone of tank/home/foo
called tank/home/bar, and then destroy the former. Is that
the best (or even only) way?
TIA,

See zfs(1) it does have a rename.> One way I can think of is to create a clone of tank/home/foo > called tank/home/bar, and then destroy the former.
