Hello Sanjeev, Thank your very much for your feedback! What is "a large number of snapshots"? 100? 1000? 10000? Do people really need so many snapshots? I think that if some user has a large number of snapshots, then it's not `zfs list` problem, because it's a user's problem. > For those who want the older behaviour can still set the "listsnapshots" > property accordingly. > > Hope that helps. Thanks a lot for the hint! I didn't know about it. It seems interesting for me. Little correction here: I've checked that it property is named "listsnaps", not "listsnapshots". What about a famous Sun's backward compatibility? In my opinion "listsnaps" property should be enabled by default. If someone really has many snapshots then he can set "listsnaps=off". In that way all should be happy without changing `zfs list` syntax.
