Andy,
I killed the threads but there are two other processes listed relating
to ndmp:
        ndmpdclassloader
        ndmpdserver

Should those be deleted also?

After deleting the threads I was still unable to delete the snapshots.


Thanks,
Joe Ropar

It's:

kill -9 <threadname>

I think you'll also have problems if the thread name has a space in it.
