 I was unable to reproduce your problem.
 
 But I was able to reproduce a different situation:
 - on a dataset with one or more snapshots I am unable to delete files
 (ENOSPC) if the dataset got full.
 
 If this is your case, then:
 - deleting files does not unlink them from the snapshot.
 - you must first delete a specific snapshot (or all snapshots linking
 the file) to free space.
 
 Cheers,
 mm
