There is no entry in mount or df for the snapshot The zfs mounted property is only yes for real filesystems - all snapshots show as '-' On 12/09/2014 16:44, Adam Vande More wrote: > > What exactly have you tried and what were the results? zfs rename works zfs destroy fails both before and after rename with 'cannot destroy snapshot zrpleader/home/shane@daily.bad: dataset is busy' I can't find anything with fstat or lsof to indicate a process has anything open within the snapshot path.
