How to check ZFS snapshot

How to check ZFS snapshot

ZFS snapshot:

A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be created almost instantly, and they initially consume no additional disk space within the pool. However, as data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes disk space by continuing to reference the old data, thus preventing the disk space from being freed.

Command to check snapshots

1. zfs list -t snapshot

Snapshots can be destroyed using below command. 

1.  zfs destroy <snapshot name>
