I did some more testing, here is what I found:

- I can destroy older and newer snapshots, just not that particular snapshot

- I added some more memory total 1GB, now after I start the destroy command, 
~500MB RAM are taken right away, there is still ~200MB or so left. 

o The machine is responsive, 

o If I run 'zfs list'   it shows the snapshot as destroyed (it is gone from the 
list).

o There is some zfs activity for about 20 seconds - I can see the lights of the 
HDDs of the pool blinking, then it stops

o If I try to access any of the file systems of that pool - to read a file for 
example - the machine stops responding (or it is very slow) and I can't run 
anything.
This is what 'top' shows when the above happens:

No disk activity... It can stay in this state for hours, nothing changes.
If I 'cold reset' it, the snapshot I was trying to destroy is back on the 'zfs 
list' command.

Any ideas what else to test or change are welcome.

Is there a way to get rid of that snapshot, or to check its consistency somehow?

Thanks,

Miro
