I have an approx 700GB (of data) FS that I had dedup turned on for. (See
previous posts.) I turned on dedup after the FS was populated, and was not
sure dedup was working. I had another copy of the data, so I removed the data,
and then tried to destroy the snapshots I had taken. The first two didn't take
too long, but the last one (the oldest) has taken literally hours now. I've
rebooted and tried starting over, but it hasn't made a difference.
I realize that I did things in the wrong order. I should have removed the
oldest snapshot first, on to the newest, and then removed the data in the FS
itself. But still, it shouldn't take hours, should it?
I made sure the machine was otherwise idle, and did an 'iostat', which shows
about 5KB/sec reads and virtually no writes to the pool. Any ideas where to
look? I'd just remove the FS entirely at this point, but I'd have to destroy
the snapshot first, so I'm in the same boat, yes?
TIA,
Paul
