Let’s say i made 10 snapshots on top of the base.
Now can i delete snap no. 5? Will the snaps after 5 will be affected?
Solved
Yes, one can delete consecutive snapshots. The data won’t be deleted unless all snaps ( reference points ) get deleted.
Note: If you delete the original file and delete all the snapshots made when the file is still there, the file will get deleted permanently.
Yes, you can delete arbitrary snapshot without other snapshot being affected. You can even delete the original subvolume and the snapshots made from it would be still accessible.
Thank you.
