concerns on fs_clone

[satish]

Dear Erman,

Could you please help to understand below concerns

Does adop phase=fs_clone use adop_sync.drv, or does it just copy the entire fs1 to fs2 (or vice-versa)?

Does it use rsync to achieve this?

Thanks

No, it is not using adop_sync.drv.
It does another thing.
You can think like; fs_clone is used to copy the run file system to the patch file system.

So,fsclone doesnt use rsync for its internal oepration?

Before analyzing the fs_clone related adop code, I can't answer to this question.
Howewer, it maybe using rsync, because there was an internal enhancement recorded for it -> defect 22914449. This defect is not available now.
This means, sometime ago, Oracle thought that using rsync in fs_clone operation is a good idea..
So , this enhancements may be included in the up-to-date releases, even in your release..
