Hey BertN45,
as stated on the other bug report, those aren’t necessarily snapshots as
clones can be a state. Using the terminology snapshots will be confusing
like advanced users like you are.
Manual snapshots on system state saving won’t be considered as a valid
reverting state to zsys, as you missing many metadata that we add to
ensure that everyone can revert in a safe and consistent machine. You
don’t have the mountpoint that was taken when you saved that state (the
inheritance can break it), bootfs datasets that were linked at this
time, reverting dates and such.
Advanced users can take them, but they will be removed by themselves and
not considered, on purpose, by zsys, as this is not something we can
guarantee a safe revert point. This is the approach we took to avoid
collecting and modifying them in an unwanted state, protecting thus the
status for the average users. (this may be revisited later).
** Changed in: zsys (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
** Summary changed:
- zsysctl inconsistency in handling snapshots/states
+ zsysctl ignores manual system states snapshots

Title:
zsysctl ignores manual system states snapshots
Status in zsys package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Before the zsys of 27 Feb update I had created a snapshot for the
system BOOT, ROOT and USERDATA datasets. These snapshots are reported
by "zsysctl show" for the USERDATA datasets, but they are ignored for
the BOOT and ROOT datasets.
see annex with:
zfs list -t snapshot
zsysctl show
zsysctl show --full
Remark: Please stick as close as possible to the established zfs terminology,
like:
state vs snapshot
list vs show
Where can we find info about, what to expect in 20.04 and a
description of the commands. I have no clue what e.g. the command
"completion" does!
