[Solid_software] solid work disk 100% full and fix is requested

[Ole Hansen]

Sure. It can be useful. If people know about it. Spreading the knowledge 
requires active messaging.

BTW, one does not have to "request" to recover files. They can be copied 
right out of the snapshot by anyone. The only tricky part is that the 
snapshot directory is hidden (even ls -a does not show it):

ls /work/halla/solid/.zfs/snapshot
