When deleting a zvol or dataset from my system, the system slowly crashes.
I feel like the "delete process" is essentially shutting down pool access.
Now I do have frequent snapshots (5 minutes) that are supposed to delete frequently (2 hours), but I recently discovered that they weren't deleting automatically. I saw there were over 420,000 snapshots on the system. I've stopped snapshots and removed most of them but I'm still having this problem.
If I restart from SSH, it takes about an hour. When it comes back online, the zvol/dataset is still there having not been deleted.
This has now happened for 4 attempts both for zvol and datasets.
My system specs:
160GB RAM
7x10TB HDD (Raidz2)
256GB L2ARC
16-core 2GHz Xeon Processor
- First the WebUI starts being unable to retrieve pool data.
- The WebUI then fails to load completely.
- At this point SMB service also is failing.
- Then virtual machines freeze and are inaccessible remotely. Their services stop being accessible. Jails also stop and crash around this point. The jls command returns nothing.
