Maybe this is too obvious, but "keep" is just the string they chose to use in that documentation page, you need to know the right string for your snapshot in order to release the hold. You can get a list of the current holds on a snapshot with "zfs holds".

I ran into a `busy' snapshot I want to destroy. I tried the methods given here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gjdfk/index.html destroy -d and then release -r keep Neither appear to do a blessed thing. Surely the damn thing can't just stay `busy' from no on. the number of the snapshot is 140929 which is also the date of creation. So this thing has been hanging here for 7 yrs already and by all outward appearances is prepared for many more. There must be some trick way to unhold this dog. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
