This is how ZFS is designed to work. A clone can only be created from a snapshot and is considered a dependent of that snapshot. Thus, the snapshot cannot be deleted until the child-clone is destroyed or promoted.
Not a zfSnap bug IMO.

I know this, but zfSnap should properly skip this snapshot without raising alarms. (should output notice at best).
And it shouldn't stop deleting other snapshots (This was the case for me, maybe now it doesn't die in this scenario.... need to test it)

Ahh. Ok. Worth looking into.

@graudeejs I tested this and it now works as you describe. It does output an error, but I think this is desirable behavior, as errors should not be silent. If a user wants to suppress them, then they can 2> /dev/null
