I've some VMs and LXCs with replica enabled between two nodes;
if i look at snapshopts i got (on both nodes):

 root at cnpve1:~# zfs list -r -t snapshot -o name,used,creation rpool/data

there's only one snapshot per disk, so seems to me that replica works as:

1) delete old snapshot
2) take snapshot
3) sync snapshot
4) apply snapshot to other node

But snapshot get not deleted. Why?


If i need temporary some space, can i safely delete all these snapshot
(clerly by hand, via 'zfs destroy')?


Thanks.
