I have a snapshot that I'd like to destroy: # zfs list rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 1.88G - 4.18G -
But when I try it warns me of dependent clones: # zfs destroy rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 cannot destroy 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720': snapshot has dependent clones use '-R' to destroy the following datasets: rpool/ROOT/sol10u7 What do I have to do to be able to destroy the snapshot? I've tried promoting the clone: # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/sol10u7 But that just moves the snapshot: # zfs list rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 cannot open 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720': dataset does not exist # zfs list rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720 NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720 12.2M - 4.18G - and when I try to destroy it, I get warned about other dependent clones: # zfs destroy rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720 cannot destroy 'rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720': snapshot has dependent clones use '-R' to destroy the following datasets: rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone01 rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone02 rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones rpool/ROOT/be200909160920 So I try promoting those: # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone01 cannot open 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone01': dataset does not exist # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone01 cannot promote 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone01': not a cloned filesystem # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone02 cannot promote 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones/zone02': not a cloned filesystem # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones cannot promote 'rpool/ROOT/be200909160920/zones': not a cloned filesystem # zfs promote rpool/ROOT/be200909160920 But that just moves the snapshot back to where it was: # zfs list rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720 cannot open 'rpool/ROOT/sol1...@200909160720': dataset does not exist # zfs list rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool/ROOT/be200909160...@200909160720 1.88G - 4.18G - I've tried to find the answer in the docs but I'm not having a lot of luck. Can someone provide some pointers? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
