I am having the exact same problem after destroying a dataset with a few 
gigabytes of data and dedup.  I type zfs destroy vault/virtualmachines which 
was a zvol with dedup turned on and the server hung, couldn't ping, couldn't 
get on the console.  Next bootup same thing just hangs when importing the 
filesystems.  I removed one of the pool disks and also all the mirrors so that 
I can experiment without losing the original data.  But all of my behaviors are 
acting the exact same way as in this thread, although I can't lose this 
particular data as it's been a week since last backup so I am freaking out a 
little.  I am on build 130 and was going to do another backup but was 
troubleshooting a different issue regarding poor iscsi performance before I did 
the backup.  I deleted that zvol with dedup on and now I'm in the same boat as 
the parent.  same hangs.  and interesting thing that happens is that when I hit 
the power button which usually tells the system to start a shutdown, dur
 ing these hangs it says not enough kernel memory.  

Perhaps a memory leak during the failed destroy is causing the hangups.

But literally every description and in here matches my symptoms and during an 
import I can see the disks get hit pretty hard for a about 3 minutes and then 
stop cold turkey and the system is unresponsive, just a blinking cursor at the 
console and I can hit enter to generate a newline but everything is blank. so 
the console is locked pretty hard.

The pool is made up of 3 mirrored vdevs, a cache and a log device.  everything 
was running great until I destroy that one little deduped zvol.  I was able to 
destroy other zvols right before that one.

Has anybody had a chance to look at the dump the poster sent up?

Thanks
