Thanks for the input... I did think of something like that employing a four loop but it seemed a bit cumbersome So I thought I'd check once more thru the oracle stuff online about snapshots and damned if I didn't stumble up on something that seems to be one way to go, honestly its not a whole lot less (if any) less cumbersome though. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/6n7ht6r4f/index.html (Look under Holding ZFS Snapshots) It revolves around the `hold' command which is really more of a property I guess. You pick out the snap[s] you want (in my case it was just one) and label it with: `zfs hold LABEL zp/path/dir@SNAP' Then you maybe use the -r flag with destroy or a four loop like I did: I didn't have any complicated snaps behind clones or what not. cd .../.zfs/snspshot for SNAP in `ls -d *`;do zfs destroy zp/path/dir@${SNAP};done When it hits the one with the `hold NAME' it reports that fact then finishes off the rest. You can then `release' the `hold' with: zfs release zp/path/dir@SNAP _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
