How about creating a new data set, moving the directory into it, and then
destroying it?
Assuming the directory in question is /opt/MYapp/data:
1. zfs create rpool/junk
2. mv /opt/MYapp/data /rpool/junk/
3. zfs destroy rpool/junk
The "move" will create and remove the files; the "remove" by mv will be as
inefficient removing them one by one.
"rm -rf" would be at least as quick.
Normally when you do a move with-in a 'regular' file system all that's
usually done is the directory pointer is shuffled around. This is not the
case with ZFS data sets, even though they're on the same pool?
no - mv doesn't know about zpools, only about posix filesystems.
