Below is my list of ZFS volumes and snapshots, as well as the origin and clone for each.

I want to delete all the snapshots, but keep all the filesystems. How can I do this?

I have tried zfs promote followed by attempting to delete each filesystem for many different combinations of the filesystems. This shifts around where the snapshots "live"; for instance, zfs promote tank/containers/six moves snapshot F from tank/containers/three@F to tank/containers/six@F . The live data in the filesystem isn't modified (which is what I want!), but I still can't delete the snapshot (which is not what I want).

A typical zfs destroy attempt tells me it has dependent clones, some of which (the snapshots) I do want to destroy, but others of which (the filesystems) I do not want to destroy.

For example.

# zfs destroy tank/containers/six@A cannot destroy 'tank/containers/six@A': snapshot has dependent clones use '-R' to destroy the following datasets: tank/containers/five tank/containers/two@B tank/containers/two

In the above example, I don't want to destroy tank/containers/five or tank/containers/two , but if I zfs promote five and two, I still can't destroy any snapshots. Is there a solution?
