How much RAM does the system have? Dedup uses a LOT of memory, and it
can take a long time to destroy dedup'd datasets.
If you keep waiting, it'll eventually return. It could be a few hours or longer.
The machine refused to boot, stuck at Reading ZFS Config. Asking around on
The system resumed the destroy that was in progress. If you let it
sit, it'll eventually complete.
Well the livecd is also hanging on import, anything else zfs hangs. iostat
shows some reads but they drop off to almost nothing after 2 mins or so.
Likewise, it's trying to complete the destroy. Be patient and it'll
complete. Never versions of Open Solaris or Solaris 11 Express may
complete it faster.
Any tips greatly appreciated,
Just wait...

Thanks for the replies,
The machine only has 4G RAM I believe.
It's time I should be heading to bed so I'll let it sit overnight, and
if I'm still stuck with it I'll give Ian's recent suggestions a go and
report back.
Many thanks
Matt
