64.Op Ar extra-directory ...
65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The utility
67.Nm
68creates a file system image into
69.Ar image-file
70from the directory tree
71.Ar directory
72or from the mtree manifest
73.Ar manifest .
74If any optional directory trees are passed in the
75.Ar extra-directory
76arguments, then the directory tree of each argument will be merged
77into the
78.Ar directory
79or
80.Ar manifest
81first before creating
82.Ar image-file .
83No special devices or privileges are required to perform this task.
84.Pp
85The options are as follows:
86.Bl -tag -width flag
87.It Fl B Ar endian
88Set the byte order of the image to
89.Ar endian .
90Valid byte orders are
91.Ql 4321 ,
92.Ql big ,
93or
94.Ql be
95for big endian, and
96.Ql 1234 ,
97.Ql little ,
98or
99.Ql le
100for little endian.
101Some file systems may have a fixed byte order; in those cases this
102argument will be ignored.
103.It Fl b Ar free-blocks
104Ensure that a minimum of
105.Ar free-blocks
106free blocks exist in the image.
107An optional
108.Ql %
109suffix may be provided to indicate that
110.Ar free-blocks
111indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
112.It Fl D
113Treat duplicate paths in an mtree manifest as warnings not error.
114.It Fl d Ar debug-mask
115Enable various levels of debugging, depending upon which bits are
116set in
117.Ar debug-mask .
118XXX: document these
119.It Fl F Ar mtree-specfile
120.Em This is almost certainly not the option you are looking for.
121To create an image from a list of files in an mtree format manifest,
122specify it as the last argument on the command line, not as a the
123argument to
124.Fl F .
125.Pp
126Use
127.Ar mtree-specfile
128as an
129.Xr mtree 8
130.Sq specfile
131specification.
132This option has no effect when the image is created from a mtree manifest
133rather than a directory.
134.Pp
135If a specfile entry exists in the underlying file system, its
136permissions and modification time will be used unless specifically
137overridden by the specfile.
138An error will be raised if the type of entry in the specfile
139conflicts with that of an existing entry.
140.Pp
141In the opposite case (where a specfile entry does not have an entry
142in the underlying file system) the following occurs:
143If the specfile entry is marked
144.Sy optional ,
145the specfile entry is ignored.
146Otherwise, the entry will be created in the image, and it is
147necessary to specify at least the following parameters in the
148specfile:
149.Sy type ,
150.Sy mode ,
151.Sy gname ,
152or
153.Sy gid ,
154and
155.Sy uname
156or
157.Sy uid ,
158and
159.Sy link
160(in the case of symbolic links).
161If
162.Sy time
163is not provided, the current time will be used.
164If
165.Sy flags
166is not provided, the current file flags will be used.
167Missing regular file entries will be created as zero-length files.
168.It Fl f Ar free-files
169Ensure that a minimum of
170.Ar free-files
171free files (inodes) exist in the image.
172An optional
173.Ql %
174suffix may be provided to indicate that
175.Ar free-files
176indicates a percentage of the calculated image size.
177.It Fl M Ar minimum-size
178Set the minimum size of the file system image to
179.Ar minimum-size .
180.It Fl m Ar maximum-size
181Set the maximum size of the file system image to
182.Ar maximum-size .
183An error will be raised if the target file system needs to be larger
184than this to accommodate the provided directory tree.
185.It Fl N Ar userdb-dir
186Use the user database text file
187.Pa master.passwd
188and group database text file
189.Pa group
190from
191.Ar userdb-dir ,
192rather than using the results from the system's
193.Xr getpwnam 3
194and
195.Xr getgrnam 3
196(and related) library calls.
197.It Fl O Ar offset
198Instead of creating the filesystem at the beginning of the file, start
199at offset.
200Valid only for
201.Sy ffs
202and
203.Sy msdos .
204.It Fl o Ar fs-options
205Set file system specific options.
206.Ar fs-options
207is a comma separated list of options.
208Valid file system specific options are detailed below.
209.It Fl p
210Deprecated.
211See the
212.Fl Z
213flag.
214.It Fl R Ar roundup-size
215Round the image up to
216.Ar roundup-size .
217.Ar roundup-size
218should be a multiple of the file system block size.
219This option only applies to the
220.Sy ffs
221file system type.
222.It Fl S Ar sector-size
223Set the file system sector size to
224.Ar sector-size .
225.\" XXX: next line also true for cd9660?
226Defaults to 512.
227.It Fl s Ar image-size
228Set the size of the file system image to
229.Ar image-size .
230This is equivalent to setting both the minimum
231.Fl ( M )
232and the maximum
233.Fl ( m )
234sizes to the same value.
235For
236.Sy ffs
237and
238.Sy msdos
239the
240.Ar image-size
241does not include the
242.Ar offset .
243.Ar offset
244is not included in that size.
245.It Fl T Ar timestamp
246Specify a timestamp to be set for all filesystem files and directories
247created so that repeatable builds are possible.
248The
249.Ar timestamp
250can be a
251.Pa pathname ,
252where the timestamps are derived from that file, or an integer
253value interpreted as the number of seconds from the Epoch.
254Note that timestamps specified in an
255.Xr mtree 5
256spec file, override the default timestamp.
257.It Fl t Ar fs-type
258Create an
259.Ar fs-type
260file system image.
261The following file system types are supported:
262.Bl -tag -width cd9660 -offset indent

272.It Fl x
273Exclude file system nodes not explicitly listed in the specfile.
274.It Fl Z
275Create a sparse file for
276.Sy ffs .
277This is useful for virtual machine images.
278.El
279.Pp
280Where sizes are specified, a decimal number of bytes is expected.
281Two or more numbers may be separated by an
282.Dq x
283to indicate a product.
284Each number may have one of the following optional suffixes:
285.Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact
286.It b
287Block; multiply by 512
288.It k
289Kibi; multiply by 1024 (1 KiB)

498.El
499.Ss zfs-specific options
500Note: ZFS support is currently considered experimental.
501Do not use it for anything critical.
502.Pp
503The image created by
504.Nm
505contains a ZFS pool with a single vdev of type
506.Ql disk .
507The root dataset is always created implicitly and contains the entire input
508directory tree unless additional datasets are specified using the options
509described below.
510.Pp
511The arguments consist of a keyword, an equal sign
512.Pq Ql = ,
513and a value.
514The following keywords are supported:
515.Pp
516.Bl -tag -width omit-trailing-period -offset indent -compact
517.It ashift
518The base-2 logarithm of the minimum block size.
519Typical values are 9 (512B blocks) and 12 (4KB blocks).
520The default value is 12.
521.It bootfs
522The name of the bootable dataset for the pool.
523Specifying this option causes the
524.Ql bootfs
525property to be set in the created pool.
526.It mssize
527The size of metaslabs in the created pool.
528By default,
529.Nm
530allocates large (up to 512MB) metaslabs with the expectation that
531the image will be auto-expanded upon first use.
532This option allows the default heuristic to be overridden.
533.It poolname
534The name of the ZFS pool.
535This option must be specified.
536.It rootpath
537An implicit path prefix added to dataset mountpoints.
538By default it is
539.Pa /<poolname> .
540For creating bootable pools, the
541.Va rootpath
542should be set to
543.Pa / .
544At least one dataset must have a mountpoint equal to
545.Va rootpath .
546.It fs
547Create an additional dataset.
548This option may be specified multiple times.
549The argument value must be of the form
550.Ar <dataset>[;<prop1=v1>[;<prop2=v2>[;...]]] ,
551where
552.Ar dataset
553is the name of the dataset and must belong to the pool's namespace.
554For example, with a pool name of
555.Ql test
556all dataset names must be prefixed by
557.Ql test/ .
558A dataset must exist at each level of the pool's namespace.
559For example, to create
560.Ql test/foo/bar ,
561.Ql test/foo
562must be created as well.
563.Pp
564The dataset mountpoints determine how the datasets are populated with
565files from the staged directory tree.
566Conceptually, all datasets are mounted before any are populated with files.
567The root of the staged directory tree is mapped to
568.Va rootpath .
569.Pp
570Dataset properties, as described in
571.Xr zfsprops 8 ,
572may be specified following the dataset name.
573The following properties may be set for a dataset:
574.Pp
575.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent
576.It atime
577.It canmount
578.It exec
