I got more info. I can run zpool history and this is what I get: 2008-05-23.00:29:40 zfs destroy tera/[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-05-23.00:29:47 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3890809] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.01:28:38 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891101] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.07:01:36 zpool import -f tera 2008-05-23.07:01:40 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891106] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.10:52:56 zpool import -f tera 2008-05-23.10:52:58 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891112] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.12:17:49 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891114] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.12:27:48 zpool import -f tera 2008-05-23.12:27:50 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891120] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.13:03:07 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891122] dataset = 152 2008-05-23.13:56:52 zpool import -f tera 2008-05-23.13:56:54 [internal destroy_begin_sync txg:3891128] dataset = 152
apparently, it starts destroying dataset #152, which is the parent snapshot of the clone I issued the command to destroy. Not sure how it works, but I ordered the deletion of the CLONE, not the snapshot (which I was going to destroy anyway). The question is still, why does it hang the machine? Why can't I access the filesystems? Isn't it supposed to import the zpool, mount the ZFSs and then do the destroy, in background?
