ZFS zfs promote

[Ofloo]

For some reason, I remember promote to something else. Basically when I clone a snapshot and promote it it should become it's own zfs dataset however for some reason for me it switches around the clone?

Maybe that is what it is supposed to do but how do I make it so that a cloned dataset becomes it's own dataset.

This is what promotion does; one is always the origin, the other the child.

If you want a fully separate filesystem (no sharing of blocks to store shared data/history) you need to use send/recv.
