[-- Attachment #1 --] The problem: FreeBSD 13.3 amd64 system, with a zfs pool built from two physical drives. The zfs pool has 7 "partitions" (is that what they're called?) I was copying files over from another machine and didn't realize that I filled one of the partitions. I can't proceed now with this one full partition. Every single command fails due to "out of space". That includes: rm (one file or many) dd if=/dev/zero of=(some file) truncate (somefile) zfs destroy poolname/partitionname cannot destroy 'poolname/partitionname': out of space There are no snapshots, I never created any. Extensive googling has not shown any more than bug reports acknowledging that this is a problem. How do I fix this, short of burning the machine to the ground and starting over? Thanks, Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux.
