  • B A FlexClone volume is a copy of all data blocks in a volume while a snapshot only references data blocks.
  • C A Flexclone volume is a writeable copy of a patent volume while a snapshot is read-only.
  • D A FlexClone volume is a separate copy of all data blocks within a parent volume that lives outs.de of the volumes while the snapshot lives within the volume.
