Hi all,

We're running into a limitation in the GUI when trying to clone a vm from a snapshot on ZFS storage.
On LVM this works fine, I know this works a bit different and also allows for non-linear snapshots which ZFS doesn't.
A full clone however should be possible in my AFAIK.

I'm able to clone the snapshot to another dataset by hand and add it to a new vm.
It's a bit of a hassle though as clients who don't have access to the CLI have to contact me to fix this for them.

Would it be possible to enable this feature in the GUI or are there more limitations which prevent this?
