wildcard charaters in destroying snapshots?

Postby romanaOne » Fri Oct 09, 2015 5:56 am

I originally created my ZFS pool with PC-BSD and it made a heaps of automatic snapshots.

Code: Select all
>sudo zfs list -t snapshot

Is there a way to destroy more than one, but not all in single command?
I discovered zfs destroy tank@% will destroy them all but what if I just wanted to delete the ones from September?
zfs destroy tank@auto-2015-09% does not work.

I'm not worried about space here, I just don't need this many snapshots and the horkage that results every time I do zfs -list gets annoying.
