Hi Harry,
Simplest option would be something like
zfs list -t snapshot -o name -H -r filesystem/path > /tmp/snaplist.txt
edit /tmp/snaplist.txt to remove the snapshot you want to keep
for SNAP in `cat /tmp/snaplist.txt`
do
zfs destroy $SNAP
done
My syntax may be a little off with the for loop but I'm sure you get the
idea.
Cheers
Tim
