I'm thinking that the issue is simply with zfs destroy, not with dedup or compression.
Yesterday I decided to do some iscsi testing, I created a new dataset in my pool, 1TB. I did not use compression or dedup. After copying about 700GB of data from my windows box (NTFS on top of the iscsi disk), I decided I didn't want to use it, so I attempted to delete the dataset. Once again, the command froze. I removed the zfs cache file and am now trying to import my pool... again. This time, the memory fills up QUICKLY, I hit 8GB used in about an hour, then the box completely freezes. iostat shows each of my disks being read at about 10 megs/S up until the freeze. It does not matter if I limit l2arc size in /etc/system, the behavior is the same. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
