How much RAM does the system have? Dedup uses a LOT of memory, and it
can take a long time to destroy dedup'd datasets.

If you keep waiting, it'll eventually return. It could be a few hours or longer.

The system resumed the destroy that was in progress. If you let it
sit, it'll eventually complete.

Likewise, it's trying to complete the destroy. Be patient and it'll
complete. Never versions of Open Solaris or Solaris 11 Express may
complete it faster.
