Just to update everyone...this turned out to be OpenSolaris bug 6884007 "zfs_send() can leave temporary holds around". It was fixed in b142 and I was able to apply the patch to NCP3 and the issue is resolved on my system.
Apparently the system was stuck in dnode_special_close() due to some snapshot holds that were not cleaned up properly by zfs send. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
