[OpenIndiana-discuss] the dirty lowdown hold not giving up the ghost

[Coalson, Timothy Scott (S&T-Student)]

Maybe this is too obvious, but "keep" is just the string they chose to use in that documentation page, you need to know the right string for your snapshot in order to release the hold.  You can get a list of the current holds on a snapshot with "zfs holds".

I hope this is something I've boneheadedly overlooked.

I ran into a `busy' snapshot I want to destroy.

I tried the methods given here:

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gjdfk/index.html

destroy -d and then release -r keep

Neither appear to do a blessed thing.

Surely the damn thing can't just stay `busy' from no on.

the number of the snapshot is 140929 which is also the date of creation.
So this thing has been hanging here for 7 yrs already and by all outward
appearances is prepared for many more.

There must be some trick way to unhold this dog.
