ZFS cannot delete directory tree
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Debian 9 (stretch) with ZFS 0.7.12 on kernel 4.15.18-9-pve. I have a ZFS pool with a dataset:
zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
rpool 2.81T 39.3T 120K /rpool
rpool/data 2.81T 39.3T 96K /rpool/data
rpool/data/vm-101-disk-0 7.74G 39.3T 7.74G -
rpool/data/vm-102-disk-0 5.62G 39.3T 5.62G -
rpool/data/vm-102-disk-1 2.82T 39.3T 2.82T -
mount -t zfs
/rpool on /rpool type zfs (rw,xattr,noacl)
/rpool/data on /rpool/data type zfs (rw,xattr,noacl)
For a short while I had a dataset at rpool/store, too, with some files and directories stored in /rpool/store but I used zfs destroy rpool/store to remove it.
I now find I have a copy of the directory structure still at /rpool/store:
ls /rpool/store/
dump images private template
I tried to remove them but to no avail:
rm -rf /rpool/store
ls /rpool/store/
dump images private template
If I ignore this situation and try to recreate my store dataset I get this error:
zfs create rpool/store
cannot mount '/rpool/store': directory is not empty
filesystem successfully created, but not mounted
How do I remove the files and directories at /rpool/store?
