I can reproduce the problem. I can crash the system.

Here are the steps I did (some steps may not be needed but I haven't tested
it):

- Clean install of OI 151.a.7 on Supermicro hardware described above (32GB
RAM though, not the 128GB)

- Create 1 zpool, 6 raidz vdevs with 5 drives each

- NFS export a dataset
  zfs set sharenfs="rw=@10.20.1/24" vol01/htmlspace

- Create zfs child dataset
  zfs create vol01/htmlspace/A

  $ zfs get -H sharenfs vol01/htmlspace/A
  vol01/htmlspace/A       sharenfs        rw=@10.20.1/24  inherited from
vol01/htmlspace

- Stop NFS shearing for the child dataset

  zfs set sharenfs=off vol01/htmlspace/A

The crash is instant after the sharenfs=off command.

I thought it was coincident so after reboot I tried it on another dataset.
Instant crash again. I get my prompt back but that's it. The system is gone
after that.

The NFS exported file systems are not accessed by any system on the
network. They are not in use. That's why I wanted to stop exporting them.
And, even if they were in use this should now crash the system, right?

I can't try the other box because it is heavy in production. At least not
until later tonight.

I thought I'll collect some advice to make each crash as useful as possible.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,

-- Peter
