[BlueOnyx:25687] Deleting Aventurine Snapshots

[Michael Aronoff]

I have 4 Aventurine servers and one has a problem where there appear to 
be snapshots that are hanging around that should not be.

I have been having a disk space problem and I noticed that in 
/vz/private/{VPS_ID} on there 3 OK servers there is just a root.hdd but 
on the one with problems there is the root.hdd as well as many other 
root.hdd (Snapshot_ID). Some of these other files are very large.

When I run a prlctl snapshot-list (Snapshot_ID) on the servers without 
problems it shows no snapshots. But on the one with the problem it 
shows:

PARENT_SNAPSHOT_ID                      SNAPSHOT_ID
                                                                          
            {8ea34399-eef7-43ba-a708-102ee9b08a10}
{8ea34399-eef7-43ba-a708-102ee9b08a10}     
{335d5585-5ad9-42d1-8127-00eebed31981}
{335d5585-5ad9-42d1-8127-00eebed31981}   
{ab1a9f3c-6468-4f6e-a6eb-f560c227a8e6}
{ab1a9f3c-6468-4f6e-a6eb-f560c227a8e6}     
*{67f1a52a-817a-4efc-ba04-f56098f4865d}

and a new one seems to be added each night.

I spoke with Chris at Virtbiz and he cautioned against just deleting the 
snapshots so I thought I would ask if anyone has seen anything like this 
or has any advise to properly remove the snapshots without causing 
problems.

Thanks,
