47.Nm zpool
48.Cm split
49.Op Fl gLlnP
50.Oo Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value Oc Ns ...
51.Op Fl R Ar root
52.Ar pool newpool
53.Op Ar device ...
54.Xc
55Splits devices off
56.Ar pool
57creating
58.Ar newpool .
59All vdevs in
60.Ar pool
61must be mirrors and the pool must not be in the process of resilvering.
62At the time of the split,
63.Ar newpool
64will be a replica of
65.Ar pool .
66By default, the
67last device in each mirror is split from
68.Ar pool
69to create
70.Ar newpool .
71.Pp
72The optional device specification causes the specified device(s) to be
73included in the new
74.Ar pool
75and, should any devices remain unspecified,
76the last device in each mirror is used as would be by default.
77.Bl -tag -width Ds
78.It Fl g
79Display vdev GUIDs instead of the normal device names. These GUIDs
80can be used in place of device names for the zpool
81detach/offline/remove/replace commands.
82.It Fl L
83Display real paths for vdevs resolving all symbolic links. This can
84be used to look up the current block device name regardless of the
85.Pa /dev/disk/
86path used to open it.
87.It Fl l
88Indicates that this command will request encryption keys for all encrypted
89datasets it attempts to mount as it is bringing the new pool online. Note that
90if any datasets have a
91.Sy keylocation
92of
93.Sy prompt
94this command will block waiting for the keys to be entered. Without this flag
95encrypted datasets will be left unavailable until the keys are loaded.
96.It Fl n
97Do dry run, do not actually perform the split.
98Print out the expected configuration of
99.Ar newpool .
100.It Fl P
101Display full paths for vdevs instead of only the last component of
102the path. This can be used in conjunction with the
103.Fl L
104flag.
105.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
106Sets the specified property for
107.Ar newpool .
108See the
109.Xr zpoolprops
110manual page for more information on the available pool properties.
111.It Fl R Ar root
112Set
113.Sy altroot
114for
115.Ar newpool
116to
117.Ar root
118and automatically import it.
