I tried this

# hammer pfs-destroy @@-1:00008
You have requested that PFS#8 () be destroyed
This will irrevocably destroy all data on this PFS!!!!!
Do you really want to do this? y
This PFS is currently setup as a MASTER!
Are you absolutely sure you want to destroy it? y
Destroying PFS #8 () in  5 4 3 2 1.. starting destruction pass
pfs-destroy of PFS#8 failed: Directory not empty

but it is till there

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root     100         10 Sep 30 13:43 sgeorge-home -> @@PFS00008

tried it again

# hammer pfs-destroy @@-1:00008
You have requested that PFS#8 () be destroyed
This will irrevocably destroy all data on this PFS!!!!!

Destroying PFS #8 () in  5 4 3 2 1.. starting destruction pass
pfs-destroy of PFS#8 failed: Directory not empty

it is still there :-(

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root     100         10 Sep 30 13:43 sgeorge-home -> @@PFS00008

Did I really mess up?

thanks
