Hello.
I've got a problem where a file is seemingly in the delete queue and has been there for months.
This isn't an issue with space (I have plenty of), but "zfs send"ing the incriminated pool produces an overly inflated file (51GB after compression, when it should be around 2GB).
The box is FreeBSD 14.3/amd64, fully patched.
There are two pools, all of then in good HEALTH and with "No known data errors":
As you can see zroot/ROOT/default has 62.1G used by dataset, yet only 3.3G seem to exist when using standard file system tools:
With the help of the FreeBSD mailing list, we found out the following:
So this is a 58.8GB file that has, from the user perspective, been deleted, but it's still referenced by ZFS.
So the obvious question: how do I get rid of it?
Rebooting (several times) did not help.
Deleting all zroot/ROOT/default's snapshot was useless.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
In case it is needed:
