When trying to delete a snapshot on our NetApp using this command:

snap delete home_backup Aug-27

results in this message:

Snapshot Aug-27 is busy because of unknown

Other snapshots are deleted successfully, but not this particular one.

What conditions might lead to this situation? The "because of unknown" is not a very helpful message!

Do you have any flex clones or similar based off that snapshot?
