Hello,

I am having a problem destroying zfs snapshots. The machine is almost not 
responding for more than 4 hours, after I started the command and I can't run 
anything else during that time - 
I get (bash): fork: Resource temporarily unavailable - errors. 

The machine is still responding somewhat, but very, very slow. 

It is: P4, 2.4 GHz with 512 MB RAM, 8 x 750 GB disks as raidZ, running Solaris 
11 06.

Creating, renaming snapshots seem to be ok - takes < 2 seconds.

There are two ZFS file systems in the pool, both using ~3.5TB out of 4.7 TB. 
About 5 snapshots for each of the file system were created.

I am tryign to destroy one of the snapshots and the machine just dies - no 
panic or reboot, but I can't start anything. I have 'top' still running on a 
ssh terminal that shows kernel using ~20% and ~2MB free memory.

How long should usualy take to destroy ~2TB snapshot (actually using ~30GB)?

Is this delay expected behavior or am I hitting a bug of some kind?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Miro
