The sgeorge-home above is just a stale symlink and you can simply rm it.

The command has created a new PFS which you can access as /pfs/@@-1:00008,
assuming that this HAMMER filesystem is mounted as /pfs.

$ hammer pfs-status /pfs/@@-1:00008

should display the information of the PFS you've just created.

To destroy this PFS, first create a symlink to it, then pfs-destroy
on the symlink.

# ln -s @@-1:00008 /pfs/oops
# hammer pfs-destroy /pfs/oops

However, this:

# hammer pfs-destroy /pfs/@@-1:00008

left me with the PFS downgraded to slave and failed.  Upgrading this
to master, create a symlink to it, then destroying it also worked.

# hammer pfs-upgrade /pfs/@@-1:00008
# ln -s @@-1:00008 /pfs/oops
# hammer pfs-destroy /pfs/oops

Cheers.
