Yep. Dedup is on. A zpool list shows a 1.50x dedup ratio. I was imagining that

So, it is possible to turn dedup off? More importantly, what happens when I try?

How is your pool configured? If you don't have plenty of RAM or a cache device it may take an awfully long time to delete a large snapshot.

Run "zpool iostat <your pool> 30" and see what you get. If you see a lot of read activity, expect a long wait!
