Help!

Foolishly I let my ZFS system run out of disk space. I've removed the =
errant logs, but the space has not been returned. Not sure why. There =
are no snapshots, and I've even desperately rebooted the machine, but =
the space is still lost.

	# zfs list void/store
	NAME	USED	AVAIL	REFER	MOUNTPOINT
	void/store	57.2G	2.3G		57.2G	/store
	# du -hs /store
	34G	/store

Any idea on were the 23G has gone, or how I pursuade the zpool to return =
it? Why is the filesystem referencing storage that isn't being used?

To confirm, there are no snapshots here, so there shouldn't be anything =
referencing that data. When I found the machine it had 0 available, but =
I've found the 2.3G by removing some other files. Not sure why some =
should hand the space back whilst others done.

This is a bit of an emergency for me, so I'd really appreciate a quick =
response if anyone knows!

Many thanks,
Joe

p.s. this is FreeBSD 8.2 with ZFS pool version 15.=
