Hi. I've discovered that the ArchLinux-specific modification in this PKGBUILD (and also in the PKGBUILD for zfs-auto-snapshot) that changes the snapshot name format from 'PREFIX-LABEL_DATE' to 'PREFIX_DATE_LABEL', while nice, has a big problem: it breaks the sorting of old snapshots when the --fast option is used. Which means that the old-snapshot-deletion feature of the utility will end up destroying snaps that aren't actually the oldest ones! I do have a fix patch if you want it; I tried to comment here before but my comment didn't seem to show up.

In 2021, you probably don't want to use this. zrepl and sanoid are much better choices.
