I do not know if you need to do a scrub or not to recover the free space or not. AFAIK you do not need to update to v28, the new code should take care about the issue without an update.

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 
	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.
