87 The new target can be located anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, with the exception
89 Snapshots can only be renamed within the parent file system or volume.
90 When renaming a snapshot, the parent file system of the snapshot does not need
91 to be specified as part of the second argument.
92 Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they are
93 unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.
96 Force unmount any file systems that need to be unmounted in the process.

102 Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the
104 property inherited from their parent.

128 .Ss Example 1 : No Promoting a ZFS Clone
129 The following commands illustrate how to test out changes to a file system, and
130 then replace the original file system with the changed one, using clones, clone
131 promotion, and renaming:
132 .Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
133 .No # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/project/production

135 .No # Nm zfs Cm snapshot Ar pool/project/production Ns @ Ns Ar today
136 .No # Nm zfs Cm clone Ar pool/project/production@today pool/project/beta
137 make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
138 .No # Nm zfs Cm promote Ar pool/project/beta
139 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
140 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/beta pool/project/production
141 once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
142 .No # Nm zfs Cm destroy Ar pool/project/legacy
145 .Ss Example 2 : No Performing a Rolling Snapshot
146 The following example shows how to maintain a history of snapshots with a
147 consistent naming scheme.
148 To keep a week's worth of snapshots, the user destroys the oldest snapshot,
149 renames the remaining snapshots, and then creates a new snapshot, as follows:
150 .Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
151 .No # Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl r Ar pool/users@7daysago
152 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Fl r Ar pool/users@6daysago No @ Ns Ar 7daysago

157 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Fl r Ar pool/users@yesterday No @ Ns Ar 2daysago
158 .No # Nm zfs Cm rename Fl r Ar pool/users@today No @ Ns Ar yesterday
