Ok, so I managed to delete the vzctl snapshot without destroying anything,
now for the ploop snapshot.
# pwd
/vz/private/2202/root.hdd
# ploop snapshot-list DiskDescriptor.xml
PARENT_UUID C UUID
FNAME
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
{1ef87f8e-e5b7-4627-8424-d2331405d712} /vz/private/2202/root.hdd/root.hdd
{1ef87f8e-e5b7-4627-8424-d2331405d712} *
{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}
/vz/private/2202/root.hdd/root.hdd.{fb7ba001-cb78-4dd3-9ac8-cb0c8cbab4f6}
So from the above I can
ploop snapshot-delete -u
5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41 DiskDescriptor.xml
Without destroying anything right?
What about the 1ef87f8e-e5b7-4627-8424-d2331405d712 UUID - isn't that the
actual ploop partition itself? I think it's a little dangerous how it's
presented by ploop, unless I am misunderstanding something?
