Any way to fix ZFS "sparse file bug" #6792701

807557Mar 2 2010 — edited Mar 5 2010

I have a Solaris x86 server running update 6 (Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86). I recently hit this "sparse file bug" when I deleted a 512GB sparse file from a 1.2TB filesystem and the space was never freed up. What I am asking is would there be any way to recover the space in the filesystem without having to destroy and recreate it? I am assuming before trying anything I would need to update the server to U8.

Thanks in advance...
