obsolete IDR and rebooting was enoug hto get ride of these sparse file bug.

The Solaris 10 Update 8 has the fix for 6792701 included. This is part
of kernel patches 141444-09 (sparc), 141445-09 (x86). For OpenSolaris
build 118 or later contains the fix so in the development builds.
This avoids future problems with the CR but if your currently effected
by the problem the fix doesn't clear the troubles.
I believe a backup of the data, then destroy of the file system, then
recreating it and restoring is method to clear the space. With the
later kernel the problem is avoided in the future.

If you have a valid Solaris Support contract you can ask for the
corresponding IDR to fix this issue.

#6792701
I have a Solaris x86 server running update 6 (Solaris 10 10/08
s10x_u6wos_07b X86). I recently hit this "sparse file bug" when I
deleted a 512GB sparse file from a 1.2TB filesystem and the space
was
never freed up. What I am asking is would there be any way to
recover
the space in the filesystem without having to destroy and recreate
it?
I am assuming before trying anything I would need to update the
server
to U8.
Thanks in advance...
