So much for 'recovery'... this is great for deployment, however. Wonder if there is a caveat that the file must be cloned to the same flexvol. I _know_ it will mean same aggregate (which kills our deployment from templates already).
You are correct--from everything I have seen, you will have to clone to the same FlexVol.
