So i've had the folloing alert shown for about 4 months now:
I have since cleaned up my snapshot schedule of my pools as well as deleting a majority of snaps listed in the WebUI. Counting application snaps I typically sit around ~300 snapshots at any point. But this isn't my real concern.
I ran the following command and saved the output to a file and found just over 3k snapshots of .system and it's child datasets.
I also looked into how much space these are taking up on my system by running the following.
Does anyone have a good recommendation about how to destroy what I would believe is an excessive amount of .system snapshots? I have attached the command output text files if that helps.
Code:
Dataset Hercules/.system has more snapshots (715) than recommended (512). Performance or functionality might degrade. 2022-02-23 12:59:29 (America/Chicago)

zfs list -r -t snapshot -o name,creation Hercules/.system > system-snaps-list.txt

zfs list -ro space Hercules/.system > system-snaps-storage.txt
