a snapshot refers to the snapshot, so you **MUST** protect the snapshot before
you clone it. The following diagram depicts the process.
-.. note:: Ceph only supports cloning for ``format 2`` images (i.e., created with
- ``rbd create --image-format 2``), and is not yet supported by the kernel ``rbd`` module.
- So you MUST use QEMU/KVM or ``librbd`` directly to access clones in the current
- release.
+.. note:: Ceph only supports cloning for format 2 images (i.e., created with
+ ``rbd create --image-format 2``). The kernel client supports cloned images
+ since kernel 3.10.
