Delete Nimble snapshot after cloning
Nimble HF-40 ... vers 5.0.7.300-644174-opt
I have created a shapshot of a volume
From the snapshot, I created a clone. Now that I have the cloned volume online, I don't need the snapshot, but if I try to delete it, I get the error that it has a clone.
Is there a way to break the relationship so the shapshots can be removed?

Re: Delete Nimble snapshot after cloning
From what I have been able to determine .... if you use a snapshot to clone a new volume(s) ... you are married to that snapshot until the cloned volumes have been deleted.
I can't find a way to clone an existing volume so it is a standalone volume.

Re: Delete Nimble snapshot after cloning
Hello!
Fracturing or deleting the parent snapshot or volume from the clone is a feature long requested in Nimble. Good news is that within the coming months we're roadmapping this feature to be available - most likely as part of NimbleOS 5.3 or 5.4.
For now, if you take a clone of a snapshot, that snapshot needs to live as the blocks are shared between them.

Re: Delete Nimble snapshot after cloning
Of course, as the blocks are shared, I don't see a real problem with the clone being tied to the snapshot. (Nick, am I missing something here?)
Unlike some other storage where a volume is copied to a second complete instance of the storage.
