openstack volume snapshots and deleting

If I create a volume, snapshot it, and create a new volume from that
snapshot, I cannot seem to delete the snapshot until the volume is deleted.
Is this intentional, or am I doing something wrong? Is the new volume based
on the snapshot, and that's why I can't delete it? We're using CEPH as a
storage backend if that makes a difference.
openstack volume snapshot create -volume base-volume base-ss
openstack volume create -snapshot base-ss new-volume
openstack volume snapshot delete base-ss
The last command is the one that fails. It gives no error message. It just
doesn't actually delete the snapshot. But If I do this:
openstack volume delete new-volume
openstack volume snapshot delete base-ss
Then it works.
I also tried creating a snapshot, creating a volume from the snapshot, then
creating a volume from that volume, but I still cannot delete the snapshot
until both volumes are deleted.
I do not want everlasting snapshots, so I hope I'm doing something wrong
that someone can point out. Thanks.
