\fBzdb\fR - Display zpool debugging and consistency information

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBzdb\fR utility displays information about a ZFS pool useful for
debugging and performs some amount of consistency checking. It is a not a
general purpose tool and options (and facilities) may change. This is neither
a fsck(1M) nor an fsdb(1M) utility.

.P
The output of this command in general reflects the on-disk structure of a ZFS
pool, and is inherently unstable. The precise output of most invocations is
not documented, a knowledge of ZFS internals is assumed.

.P
When operating on an imported and active pool it is possible, though unlikely,
that zdb may interpret inconsistent pool data and behave erratically.

.SH "OPTIONS"
Display options:

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-b\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display statistics regarding the number, size (logical, physical and
allocated) and deduplication of blocks.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-c\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Verify the checksum of all metadata blocks while printing block statistics
(see \fB-b\fR).
.sp
If specified multiple times, verify the checksums of all blocks.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-C\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display information about the configuration. If specified with no other
options, instead display information about the cache file
(\fB/etc/zfs/zpool.cache\fR). To specify the cache file to display, see
\fB-U\fR.
.P
If specified multiple times, and a pool name is also specified display both
the cached configuration and the on-disk configuration.  If specified multiple
times with \fB-e\fR also display the configuration that would be used were the
pool to be imported.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-d\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display information about datasets. Specified once, displays basic dataset
information: ID, create transaction, size, and object count.
.sp
If specified multiple times provides greater and greater verbosity.
.sp
If object IDs are specified, display information about those specific objects only.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-D\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display deduplication statistics, including the deduplication ratio (dedup),
compression ratio (compress), inflation due to the zfs copies property
(copies), and an overall effective ratio (dedup * compress / copies).
.sp
If specified twice, display a histogram of deduplication statistics, showing
the allocated (physically present on disk) and referenced (logically
referenced in the pool) block counts and sizes by reference count.
.sp
If specified a third time, display the statistics independently for each deduplication table.
.sp
If specified a fourth time, dump the contents of the deduplication tables describing duplicate blocks.
.sp
If specified a fifth time, also dump the contents of the deduplication tables describing unique blocks.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-h\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display pool history similar to \fBzpool history\fR, but include internal
changes, transaction, and dataset information.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-i\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display information about intent log (ZIL) entries relating to each
dataset. If specified multiple times, display counts of each intent log
transaction type.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-l\fR \fIdevice\fR
.ad

also specified, also display the uberblocks on this device.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-L\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Disable leak tracing and the loading of space maps.  By default, \fBzdb\fR
verifies that all non-free blocks are referenced, which can be very expensive.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-m\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display the offset, spacemap, and free space of each metaslab.
When specified twice, also display information about the on-disk free
space histogram associated with each metaslab. When specified three time,
display the maximum contiguous free space, the in-core free space histogram,
and the percentage of free space in each space map.  When specified
four times display every spacemap record.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB-M\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Display the offset, spacemap, and free space of each metaslab.
When specified twice, also display information about the maximum contiguous
free space and the percentage of free space in each space map.  When specified
three times display every spacemap record.

.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Read and display a block from the specified device. By default the block is
displayed as a hex dump, but see the description of the \'r\' flag, below.
.sp
The block is specified in terms of a colon-separated tuple \fIvdev\fR (an
integer vdev identifier) \fIoffset\fR (the offset within the vdev) \fIsize\fR
(the size of the block to read) and, optionally, \fIflags\fR (a set of flags,
described below).

Attempt \'extreme\' transaction rewind, that is attempt the same recovery as
\fB-F\fR but read transactions otherwise deemed too old.
