[zfs-discuss] Confusing zfs error message
I was trying to destroy a filesystem and I was baffled by the following error: zfs destroy -r rpool/test/opt cannot destroy 'rpool/test/opt/csw@2001_1405': dataset already exists zfs destroy -r rpool/test/opt/csw@2001_1405 cannot destroy 'rpool/test/opt/csw@2001_1405': snapshot is cloned It turns out there was a zfs receive writing to the filesystem. A more sensible error would have been dataset is busy. -- Ian. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
