Ok, I've finally got around to do this. It hasn't recovered the space, =
but it at least is billing it to the right file system now:

	infinity# zfs list void/j/legacy-alpha=20
	NAME                  USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
	void/j/legacy-alpha  58.9G  4.11G  56.9G  /j/legacy-alpha

	# du -hs /j/legacy-alpha
	 34G	/j/legacy-alpha

Hmm. It's a pain that I've currently only got 24gb free on this pool, =
otherwise I could do a copy and destroy to try and free it up.
