Abstract
A method, system, and program product is provided for splitting a clone object from a parent object when the clone object includes at least one snapshot. A mapping is created of a source data block from the parent object to a destination data block in the clone object. A creation generation in the mapped source data block is compared to an isolate generation in the destination data block in the clone object. Inherited data blocks in the clone object are isolated from the parent object, based on the creation generation differing from the isolate generation. The destination block is updated with the mapping information.
