How does someone correctly delete snapshots?

[sethcall]

I'm just going into lxcpath/snapshots and whacking them using rm -rf

Is that correct?

i.e., sudo rm -rf /var/lib/lxc/snapshots/chef_1

That's fine. You could also do

lxc-destroy -P /var/lib/lxc/snapshots -n chef_1

but the rm is easier to type :)

As you use this, if you find features/details that would make
it much more useful please do document them, so that I can try
to address them when I move lxc-snap into lxc itself.

Hey hallyn, thanks:

2 that come to mind:

destroy

lxc-snap -d c

create output improvement + new argument

lxc-snap c (which already exists--it does a create), should return the name of the snapshot it created. Also, it should take an optional parameter allowing the user to specify the snapshot name (very useful in scripts so that you don't have to guess what the name of the new snapshot is)

Yup - that'll be trivial to add once I get the snapshot support into
the api. lxc-snap will then just be a thin wrapper around the API
function, and these are great suggestions for bits to add there.
