Hey Daniel,

I do have rolling ZFS snapshots using zfSnap - daily, weekly and monthly
snapshots are managed by zfSnap. Over the past few months I've accumulated
more than 1k of snapshots, but that was not a problem until very recently.
Maybe the high number of snapshots accumulated in the time caused the
behaviour I'm seeing now.

Anyway, I've cleaned up all snapshots now and will soon know if that was
the root cause or not.

Thanks for feedback :)

Regards,
Marin
