Snap zfs Delete

[yena]

Hello!
can i delete a snap like:
STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-disk-0
STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge
simply:
zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge ?

Thanks

Hi,
no, please always use the Proxmox VE UI or CLI, qm delsnapshot 122 prenelarge to delete snapshots. The snapshot is not only this volume, but there are snapshots on the VM's disks and in the configuration too, which would then be left over

Snapshots have '@'

zfs list -t snapshot

This would delete the dataset:
zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge

So you probably want this:
zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge@snapshotname

Hi,

Snapshots have '@'

zfs list -t snapshot

This would delete the dataset:
zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge

This is the VM state that contains the live RAM/device state of the guest when the snapshot was taken.

So you probably want this:
zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge@snapshotname

So that one does not exist. The snapshot name is prenelarge

But please also see my answer, manually removing things via ZFS is usually not what you want.

Fast overflying the thread and just reading the last words ... ZFS is usually not what you want - hui buh
