While troubleshooting failure to mount ZFS file systems I noticed that deleted mountpoint directory trees reappear within a few seconds, which I guess is the reason that zfs reports "cannot mount '/tank': directory is not empty".
Removing the mountpoints with "rm -fr" completes without errors, but within a few seconds the whole directory subtree reappears. Moving them makes the original appear all the same.
I've never seen this behaviour before. These mountpoints don't appear in the output from the mount command.
I tried to eliminate ZFS from this problem by running its init.d scrips with 'stop' and unloading its kernel modules, so that 'ps ax' doesn't list it.
What could be causing this?
Proxmox 3.1-24
