Hmm. By =E2=80=9Cancient=E2=80=9D pool version - are you thinking of the =
one used during FreeBSD 11.0-11.1 days? That was what we were using at =
the time when we tested =E2=80=9Czfs destroy -r foo@bar=E2=80=9D vs =
=E2=80=9Czfs destroy -rd foo@bar=E2=80=9D and found that =E2=80=9C-d=E2=80=
=9D was much quicker.
(We=E2=80=99re now at 11.3 and 12.1 and that whole snapshot cleaning =
script is completely rewritten and uses a custom =E2=80=9Czfs=E2=80=9D =
binary instead that can look at custom user properties to decided which =
snapshots to delete and not and is much more efficient in general.)
