Erik Trimble's assessment that it would be difficult to implement is much more valuable. Because the above quote is trivial to change. The source code to implement the change of behavior is the only hard part. I've seen many changes in the man page take place over the last year, to reflect the creation / correction of new features as time moves on. Erik, or somebody else: Are you involved in ZFS development? Can you say authoritatively the complexity of changes required for "zfs destroy somef...@snap" is simply not reasonable to implement? Or perhaps, it could be done but there would need to be sufficient momentum behind it in the form of commercial customer demand, or something like that? (which is not likely to happen.) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
