 - or you could use the auto-snapshot:event SMF instance in 0.12 of the
auto-snapshot service, where by default snapshots are not destroyed and
are only taken when _you_ want, not via cron.

[ or as Richard suggests, simply set the snapshot expiry on the other
instances to keep more snapshots, see the 'zfs/keep' SMF property ]

time-slider-cleanup is the thing that deletes snapshots iff you're
running low on disk space. The auto-snapshot service runs all of it's
cron job from the 'zfssnap' role.
