The typical problem scenario is: Some user or users fill up the filesystem.
They rm some files, but disk space is not freed. You need to destroy all
the snapshots that contain the deleted files, before disk space is available
again.
It would be nice if you could rm files from snapshots, without needing to
destroy the whole snapshot.
Is there any existing work or solution for this?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a snapshot?
If this is a real problem, I think that it calls for putting that
user's files in a separate filesystem that can have its snapshots
managed with a specific policy for addressing the usage model.
