Did you try with both RECONSTRUCT=YES and RECONSTRUCT=NO ? Sometimes I have had to do that to get stubborn aggregates to move.
Also, what's the reusedelay on the pool? Sometimes resetting this can help. Lastly, I had a lot of stuck data that wouldn't go away, and 8.1.17.100 seemed to allow data to be fully purged. It was cloud containers, which is a whole different stack, but who knows. 8.1.17.100 was pretty stable for us other than replication storage rules. Worst case, DEL VOL DISCARDDATA=YES is always a sad option. With friendly Regards, Josh-Daniel S.
