This sounds like the known issue about the dedupe map not fitting in ram. When blocks are freed, dedupe scans the whole map to ensure each block is not is use before releasing it. This takes a veeery long time if the map doesn't fit in ram.
If you can try adding more ram to the system. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
