Cannot delete dataset (v0.4.0)

[Tualua]

Hello! I cannot delete dataset, both ds.Destroy and ds.DestroyRecursive returns "dataset is busy", however I can delete it with "zfs destroy"

zfs-2.1.0

What am I missing?

Hmm, on first thought, no idea it could be anything.
Can you send me a minimal code that will reproduce the issue?

Sorry for late reply

Example code:

func ZfsDestroyDataset(dataset string) (err error) {
	var (
		ds zfs.Dataset
	)
	if ds, err = zfs.DatasetOpenSingle(dataset); err != nil {
		err = fmt.Errorf("cannot open dataset: %s", err.Error())
	} else {
		defer ds.Close()
		if err = ds.Destroy(false); err != nil {
			err = fmt.Errorf("cannot delete dataset: %s", err.Error())
		}
	}
	return err
}

In my previous testing scenario, there is an issue when trying to delete a pool created via the command line using the API interface. However, when a pool is created using the API interface and then deleted using the same API interface, there is no problem.

@alphandbelt Is dataset mounted? Because 'zfs destroy' will unmount or try to unmount implicitly, thats not the case with an API.

https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/man/master/8/zfs-destroy.8.html
"Destroys the given dataset. By default, the command unshares any file systems that are currently shared, unmounts any file systems that are currently mounted, and refuses to destroy a dataset that has active dependents (children or clones)."
