Ok, you don't want to delete them ... > Is there a way to get rid of them? I know snapshots are RO but can I do > some magic with clones and reclaim my space? You don't want to delete them, but you don't want them to take up space either? Um ... Sorry, can't be done. Move them to a different disk ... Or clarify what it is that you want. If you're saying you have core files in your present filesystem that you don't want to delete ... And you also have core files in snapshots that you *do* want to delete ... As long as the file hasn't been changing, it's not consuming space beyond what's in the current filesystem. (See the output of zfs list, looking at sizes and you'll see that.) If it has been changing ... the cores in snapshot are in fact different from the cores in present filesytem ... then the only way to delete them is to destroy snapshots. Or have I still misunderstood the question? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
