It has been running that way for 2 or 3 years?

First, make a full backup.  Test it.  Do not skip this step.

Then, create a new mirror on a new drive (or two drives) as shown in the 
Handbook.  Give the new mirror a different name, do not reuse the old 
name.

Use dump/restore to copy the data from the old drive onto the new 
mirror.  Adjust /etc/fstab on the new mirror to boot from the new label 
or device name.

Shut down.  Remove the old drive, putting it someplace safe to act as 
another backup.

Boot from the new mirror.

This is what the Handbook procedure shows.  If you are concerned about 
the procedure, test it on a non-critical machine first.

When I cd into /.zfs/.snapshot the shell hangs. I must confess, there
are a lot of snapshots because I never thought this may cause a problem.
Maybe it does now.

$ zfs list -t snapshot | wc -l
    1316

These are hourly, daily, weekly backups. I keep them for some time but
delete old ones. They accumulate because I have several jails with a
independent datasets on the system. (In case someone wonders why there
are that much.)

Nonetheless, there are not that much snapshots on the tank/root dataset
that is mounted to /.

$ zfs list -t snapshot | grep tank/root | wc -l
     174

So a `cd /.zfs/snapshot` should only list 174.

Why am I not able to see the output of `cd /.zfs/snapshot`? Did I reach
the limit of possible snapshots?

Related to this problem: I ran the command in a tmux session that is now
freezed.

`kill -9 21018` doesn't kill the process. I cannot return to tmux with
`tmux a` either.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Best,
