[zfs-discuss] Alternatives to increading the number of copies on a ZFS snapshot
How do I set the number of copies on a snapshot ? Based on the error message, I believe that I cannot do so. I already have a number of clones based on this snapshot, and would like the snapshot to have more copies now. For higher redundancy and peace of mind, what alternatives do I have ? -- Sriram

Snapshots won''t write anything so you can''t change that on snapshots. Your best option (and only if you value your data) is mirroring. (zpool attach)
