Thank you very much Ian and Carsten. Well, adding a -v gave me a clue. Turns out that one of the old snapshots had a clone created. zfs receive -v was complaining that it couldn't destroy an old snapshot, which wasn't visible but had been cloned (and forgotten) long ago. A truss of the zfs receive process shown it accessing the clone. So, zfs receive was doing its job, the new snapshot was applied correctly, but it was exiting with an exit value of 1, without printing any warnings, which I think is wrong. I've destroyed the clone and everything has gone back to normal. Now zfs receive exits with 0. Still I'm not sure if it could be a bug, the snapshot was cloned in November 2011 and it had been sitting around for a long time. The pool had less than 20 % of free space two days ago, maybe it triggered something. Anyway, as I said, with the clone removed everything has gone back to normal. Thank you very much, Borja. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
