**Snapshot creation**
Syntax :
*gluster snapshot create <snapname\> <volname\(s\)\> \[description <description\>\] \[force\]*
*gluster snapshot create <snapname\> <volname\> \[no-timestamp] \[description <description\>\] \[force\]*
Details :
Creates a snapshot of a GlusterFS volume. User can provide a snap-name and a
description to identify the snap. The description cannot be more than 1024
characters.
Snapshot will be created by appending timestamp with user provided snap name.
User can override this behaviour by giving no-timestamp flag.
NOTE : To be able to take a snapshot, volume should be present and it
should be in started state.

**Snapshot clone**
Syntax :
*gluster snapshot clone <clonename\> <snapname\>*
Details :
Creates a clone of a snapshot. Upon successful completion, a new GlusterFS
volume will be created from snapshot. The clone will be a space efficient clone,
i.e, the snapshot and the clone will share the backend disk.
NOTE : To be able to take a clone from snapshot, snapshot should be present
and it should be in activated state.
