I had already confirmed -r didn't work, neither does -R: # zfs create export/user/testit # zfs snap export/user/testit@testsnap # zfs hold testhold export/user/testit@testsnap # zfs destroy -r export/user/testit cannot destroy snapshot export/user/testit@testsnap: dataset is busy # zfs destroy -R export/user/testit cannot destroy snapshot export/user/testit@testsnap: dataset is busy Matt confirmed on the ZFS mailing list that there's currently no way to delete a file system with held snapshots other than enumerate the holds and explicitly releasing them :(.
