Does cloning an attached volume force it offline?

I have a 1TB volume mounted. If I clone it, is there a chance it will take the volume offline?

Update from Linode Support:

======================================

"I can confirm that you can clone an attached Block Storage volume with no downtime. The time the clone operation takes may increase for larger volumes, but this should work the same way."
