Remove the zfs snapshot keeping the original volume and clone
I created a snapshot and subsequent clone of a zfs volume. But now i 'm not able to remove the snapshot it gives me following error
Code:
zfs destroy newpool/ldom2/zdisk4@bootimg
cannot destroy 'newpool/ldom2/zdisk4@bootimg': snapshot has dependent clones
use '-R' to destroy the following datasets:
newpool/ldom2/zdisk0
and if i promote the clone then the original volume becomes the dependent clone , is there a way to destroy just the snapshot leaving the clone and original volume intact ?
Steps taken:-
1. Snapshot an existing ZFS filesystem.
2. Created clone from snapshot.
3. Updated files on cloned ZFS filesystem.
4. Snapshot of cloned ZFS filesystem.
5. Attempted to promote clone ZFS and get error message. See below.
