Yup try to see what the ouput of

# zdb -dddd <name of your pool>/<name of your fs>

if you find big file(s) without pathname you are in ...

it should look like this :

...
Object  lvl   iblk   dblk  lsize  asize  type
        6    5    16K   128K   300G  70.0G  ZFS plain file
                                264  bonus  ZFS znode
       path    ???<object#6> <============================ this
       uid     0
       gid     0
       atime   Thu Mar 26 18:08:51 2009
       mtime   Thu Mar 26 18:12:42 2009
       ctime   Thu Mar 26 18:12:42 2009
       crtime  Thu Mar 26 18:08:51 2009
       gen     6075
       mode    100600
       size    322122547200
       parent  3
       links   0
       xattr   0
       rdev    0x0000000000000000
...

but 14Gb ...  we should rename
6792701 "Removing large holey file does not free space"
into
6792701 "Removing NOT THAT large holey file does not free space"

:)

Nico, what is a zero-link file, and how would I go about finding whether I have one? You'll have to bear with me, I'm afraid, as I'm still building my Solaris knowledge at the minute - I was brought up on Windows. I use Solaris for my storage needs now though, and slowly improving on my knowledge so I can move away from Windows one day :)

If it makes any difference, the problem persists after a full reboot, and I've deleted the three folders, so now there is literally nothing in that filesystem .. yet it reports 14GB.

It's not too much of an inconvenience, but it does make me wonder whether the 'used' figures on my other filesystems and zvols are correct.


You could be running into an instance of

6792701 Removing large holey file does not free space

A fix for this was integrated into build 118
