Hi,
Probably due to too many reboots when the system was livelocked.
But now I have the following problem.
/sbin/zfs destroy -r zfsraid/backups at Monday
cannot destroy 'zfsraid/backups at Monday': dataset does not exist
no snapshots destroyed
/sbin/zfs snapshot -r zfsraid/backups at Monday
cannot create snapshot 'zfsraid/backups at Monday': dataset is busy
no snapshots were created
/sbin/zfs destroy -r zfsraid/home@$DATE
cannot destroy 'zfsraid/home at Monday': dataset does not exist
no snapshots destroyed
/sbin/zfs snapshot -r zfsraid/home at Monday
cannot create snapshot 'zfsraid/home at Monday': dataset is busy
no snapshots were created
Where this used to work(tm)....
I can iterate over all filesystems and then destroy/create a backup.
Except for one:
# zfs list -r zfsraid/home/trouble
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
zfsraid/home/trouble 149G 3.49T 148G none
zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday 1.06G - 148G -
# zfs destroy -r zfsraid/home/trouble
cannot destroy 'zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday': dataset already exists
Exit 1
# zfs destroy zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday
cannot destroy 'zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday': dataset already exists
Exit 1
# zfs destroy -r zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday
cannot destroy 'zfsraid/home/trouble at Sunday': snapshot is cloned
no snapshots destroyed
But of this last fact I do not remember cloning anything. Nor can I find
any suggestions as to the filesystem being cloned.....
So how do I get ride of this rouge filesystem.
There is something like zdb, but the manual page is purposely vague on
how to use that...
Thanx,
--WjW
