328.Sh DESCRIPTION
329The
330.Nm
331command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
332.Xr zpool 8 .
333A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace.
334For example:
335.Bd -literal
336pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
337.Ed
338.Pp
339where the maximum length of a dataset name is
340.Dv MAXNAMELEN
341.Pq 256 bytes
342and the maximum amount of nesting allowed in a path is 50 levels deep.
343.Pp
344A dataset can be one of the following:
345.Bl -tag -width "file system"
346.It Sy file system
347A ZFS dataset of type
348.Sy filesystem
349can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
350systems.
351While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX compliant, known issues exist
352that prevent compliance in some cases.
353Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to non-standard
354behavior when checking file system free space.
355.It Sy volume
356A logical volume exported as a raw or block device.
357This type of dataset should only be used under special circumstances.
358File systems are typically used in most environments.
359.It Sy snapshot
360A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time.
361It is specified as
362.Ar filesystem Ns @ Ns Ar name
363or
364.Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar name .
365.El
366.Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
367A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
368datasets.
369A storage pool is also the root of the ZFS file system hierarchy.
370.Pp
371The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
372unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties.
373The physical storage characteristics, however, are managed by the
374.Xr zpool 8
375command.
376.Pp
377See
378.Xr zpool 8
379for more information on creating and administering pools.
380.Ss Snapshots
381A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume.
382Snapshots can be created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional
383space within the pool.
384As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more data than
385would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
386.Pp
387Snapshots can have arbitrary names.
388Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or rolled back, but cannot be accessed
389independently.
390.Pp
391File system snapshots can be accessed under the
392.Pa .zfs/snapshot
393directory in the root of the file system.
394Snapshots are automatically mounted on demand and may be unmounted at regular
395intervals.
396The visibility of the
397.Pa .zfs
398directory can be controlled by the
399.Sy snapdir
400property.
401.Ss Clones
402A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
403as another dataset.
404As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly instantaneous, and initially
405consumes no additional space.
406.Pp
407Clones can only be created from a snapshot.
408When a snapshot is cloned, it creates an implicit dependency between the parent
409and child.
410Even though the clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the
411original snapshot cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists.
412The
413.Sy origin
414property exposes this dependency, and the
415.Cm destroy
416command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
417.Pp
418The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
419.Cm promote
420subcommand.
421This causes the
422.Qq origin
423file system to become a clone of the specified file system, which makes it
424possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created from.
425.Ss "Mount Points"
426Creating a ZFS file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems
427per system is likely to be numerous.
428To cope with this, ZFS automatically manages mounting and unmounting file
429systems without the need to edit the
430.Pa /etc/vfstab
431file.
432All automatically managed file systems are mounted by ZFS at boot time.
433.Pp
434By default, file systems are mounted under
435.Pa /path ,
436where
437.Ar path
438is the name of the file system in the ZFS namespace.
439Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
440.Pp
441A file system can also have a mount point set in the
442.Sy mountpoint
443property.
444This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the file
445system when the
446.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
447command is invoked
448.Po without editing
449.Pa /etc/vfstab
450.Pc .
451The
452.Sy mountpoint
453property can be inherited, so if
454.Em pool/home
455has a mount point of
456.Pa /export/stuff ,
457then
458.Em pool/home/user
459automatically inherits a mount point of
460.Pa /export/stuff/user .
461.Pp
462A file system
463.Sy mountpoint
464property of
465.Sy none
466prevents the file system from being mounted.
467.Pp
468If needed, ZFS file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
469.Po
470.Nm mount ,
471.Nm umount ,
472.Pa /etc/vfstab
473.Pc .
474If a file system's mount point is set to
475.Sy legacy ,
476ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
477responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
478.Ss "Zones"
479A ZFS file system can be added to a non-global zone by using the
480.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy fs
481subcommand.
482A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its
483.Sy mountpoint
484property set to
485.Sy legacy .
486.Pp
487The physical properties of an added file system are controlled by the global
488administrator.
489However, the zone administrator can create, modify, or destroy files within the
490added file system, depending on how the file system is mounted.
491.Pp
492A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using the
493.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy dataset
494subcommand.
495You cannot delegate a dataset to one zone and the children of the same dataset
496to another zone.
497The zone administrator can change properties of the dataset or any of its
498children.
499However, the
500.Sy quota ,
501.Sy filesystem_limit
502and
503.Sy snapshot_limit
504properties of the delegated dataset can be modified only by the global
505administrator.
506.Pp
507A ZFS volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using the
508.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy device
509subcommand.
510However, its physical properties can be modified only by the global
511administrator.
512.Pp
513For more information about
514.Nm zonecfg
515syntax, see
516.Xr zonecfg 8 .
517.Pp
518After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the
519.Sy zoned
520property is automatically set.
521A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the global zone, since the zone
522administrator might have to set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
523.Pp
524The global administrator can forcibly clear the
525.Sy zoned
526property, though this should be done with extreme care.
527The global administrator should verify that all the mount points are acceptable
528before clearing the property.
529.Ss Native Properties
530Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined
531.Po or
532.Qq user
533.Pc
534properties.
535Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS behavior.
536In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only.
537User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
538datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment.
539For more information about user properties, see the
540.Sx User Properties
541section, below.
542.Pp
543Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
544as well as control various behaviors.
545Properties are inherited from the parent unless overridden by the child.
546Some properties apply only to certain types of datasets
547.Pq file systems, volumes, or snapshots .
548.Pp
549The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
550.Po for example,
551.Sy k ,
552.Sy KB ,
553.Sy M ,
554.Sy Gb ,
555and so forth, up to
556.Sy Z
557for zettabyte
558.Pc .
559The following are all valid
560.Pq and equal
561specifications:
562.Li 1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB .
563.Pp
564The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
565except for
566.Sy mountpoint ,
567.Sy sharenfs ,
568and
569.Sy sharesmb .
570.Pp
571The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
572dataset.
573These properties can be neither set, nor inherited.
574Native properties apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
575.Bl -tag -width "usedbyrefreservation"
576.It Sy available
577The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming that
578there is no other activity in the pool.
579Because space is shared within a pool, availability can be limited by any number
580of factors, including physical pool size, quotas, reservations, or other
581datasets within the pool.
582.Pp
583This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
584.Sy avail .
585.It Sy compressratio
586For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
587.Sy used
588space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.
589The
590.Sy used
591property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include the
592space shared with the origin snapshot.
593For snapshots, the
594.Sy compressratio
595is the same as the
596.Sy refcompressratio
597property.
598Compression can be turned on by running:
599.Nm zfs Cm set Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ar dataset .
600The default value is
601.Sy off .
602.It Sy createtxg
603The transaction group (txg) in which the dataset was created.
604Bookmarks have the same
605.Sy createtxg
606as the snapshot they are initially tied to.
607This property is suitable for ordering a list of snapshots,
608e.g. for incremental send and receive.
609.It Sy creation
610The time this dataset was created.
611.It Sy clones
612For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or volumes
613which are clones of this snapshot.
614The clones'
615.Sy origin
616property is this snapshot.
617If the
618.Sy clones
619property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed
620.Po even with the
621.Fl r
622or
623.Fl f
624options
625.Pc .
626.It Sy defer_destroy
627This property is
628.Sy on
629if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
630.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
631command.
632Otherwise, the property is
633.Sy off .
634.It Sy encryptionroot
635For encrypted datasets, indicates where the dataset is currently inheriting its
636encryption key from.
637Loading or unloading a key for the
638.Sy encryptionroot
639will implicitly load / unload the key for any inheriting datasets
640.Po see
641.Nm zfs Cm load-key
642and
643.Nm zfs Cm unload-key
644.Pc .
645Clones will always share an encryption key with their origin.
646See the
647.Sy Encryption
648section for details.
649.It Sy filesystem_count
650The total number of filesystems and volumes that exist under this location in
651the dataset tree.
652This value is only available when a
653.Sy filesystem_limit
654has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
655.It Sy guid
656The 64 bit GUID of this dataset or bookmark which does not change over its
657entire lifetime.
658When a snapshot is sent to another pool, the received snapshot has the same
659GUID.
660Thus, the
661.Sy guid
662is suitable to identify a snapshot across pools.
663.It Sy keystatus
664Indicates if an encryption key is currently loaded into ZFS.
665The possible values are
666.Sy none , available ,
667and

707.It Sy mounted
708For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted.
709This property can be either
710.Sy yes
711or
712.Sy no .
713.It Sy origin
714For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
715created.

724to resume and complete the
725.Sy zfs receive .
726.It Sy referenced
727The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
728shared with other datasets in the pool.
729When a snapshot or clone is created, it initially references the same amount of
730space as the file system or snapshot it was created from, since its contents are
731identical.
732.Pp
733This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
734.Sy refer .
735.It Sy refcompressratio
736The compression ratio achieved for the
737.Sy referenced
738space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.
739See also the
740.Sy compressratio
741property.
742.It Sy snapshot_count
743The total number of snapshots that exist under this location in the dataset
744tree.
745This value is only available when a
746.Sy snapshot_limit
747has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
748.It Sy type
749The type of dataset:
750.Sy filesystem ,
751.Sy volume ,
752or
753.Sy snapshot .
754.It Sy used
755The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
756This is the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation.
757The space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
758account the reservations of any descendent datasets.
759The amount of space that a dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the
760amount of space that is freed if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the
761greater of its space used and its reservation.
762.Pp
763The used space of a snapshot
764.Po see the
765.Sx Snapshots
766section
767.Pc
768is space that is referenced exclusively by this snapshot.
769If this snapshot is destroyed, the amount of
770.Sy used
771space will be freed.
772Space that is shared by multiple snapshots isn't accounted for in this metric.
773When a snapshot is destroyed, space that was previously shared with this
774snapshot can become unique to snapshots adjacent to it, thus changing the used
775space of those snapshots.
776The used space of the latest snapshot can also be affected by changes in the
777file system.
778Note that the
779.Sy used
780space of a snapshot is a subset of the
781.Sy written
782space of the snapshot.
783.Pp
784The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
785pending changes.
786Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few seconds.
787Committing a change to a disk using
788.Xr fsync 3C
789or
790.Dv O_SYNC
791does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
792immediately.
793.It Sy usedby*
794The
795.Sy usedby*
796properties decompose the
797.Sy used
798properties into the various reasons that space is used.
799Specifically,
800.Sy used No =
801.Sy usedbychildren No +
802.Sy usedbydataset No +
803.Sy usedbyrefreservation No +
804.Sy usedbysnapshots .
805These properties are only available for datasets created on
806.Nm zpool
807.Qo version 13 Qc
808pools.
809.It Sy usedbychildren
810The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
811all the dataset's children were destroyed.
812.It Sy usedbydataset
813The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
814dataset were destroyed
815.Po after first removing any
816.Sy refreservation
817and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents
818.Pc .
819.It Sy usedbyrefreservation
820The amount of space used by a
821.Sy refreservation
822set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
823.Sy refreservation
824was removed.
825.It Sy usedbysnapshots
826The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset.
827In particular, it is the amount of space that would be freed if all of this
828dataset's snapshots were destroyed.
829Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
830.Sy used
831properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
832.It Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em user
833The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset.

888.Pp
889When the property

977For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume.
978The

1023.Xc
1024Controls how ACEs are inherited when files and directories are created.
1025.Bl -tag -width "passthrough-x"
1026.It Sy discard
1027does not inherit any ACEs.
1028.It Sy noallow
1029only inherits inheritable ACEs that specify
1030.Qq deny
1031permissions.
1032.It Sy restricted
1033default, removes the
1034.Sy write_acl
1035and
1036.Sy write_owner
1037permissions when the ACE is inherited.
1038.It Sy passthrough
1039inherits all inheritable ACEs without any modifications.
1040.It Sy passthrough-x
1041same meaning as

1043except that the
1044.Sy owner@ ,
1045.Sy group@ ,
1046and
1047.Sy everyone@
1048ACEs inherit the execute permission only if the file creation mode also requests
1049the execute bit.
1050.El
1051.Pp
1052When the property value is set to
1053.Sy passthrough ,
1054files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable ACEs.
1055If no inheritable ACEs exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in
1056accordance to the requested mode from the application.
1057.It Xo
1058.Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy groupmask Ns | Ns
1059.Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy restricted
1060.Xc
1061Controls how an ACL is modified during
1062.Xr chmod 2
1063and how inherited ACEs are modified by the file creation mode.
1064.Bl -tag -width "passthrough"
1065.It Sy discard
1066default, deletes all ACEs except for those representing the mode of the file or
1067directory requested by
1068.Xr chmod 2 .
1069.It Sy groupmask
1070reduces permissions granted by all
1071.Sy ALLOW
1072entries found in the ACL such that they are no greater than the group
1073permissions specified by the mode.
1074.It Sy passthrough
1075indicates that no changes are made to the ACL other than creating or updating
1076the necessary ACEs to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
1077.It Sy restricted
1078causes the
1079.Xr chmod 2
1080operation to return an error when used on any file or directory which has a
1081non-trivial ACL, with entries in addition to those that represent the mode.
1082.El
1083.Pp
1084.Xr chmod 2
1085is required to change the set user ID, set group ID, or sticky bit on a file or
1086directory, as they do not have equivalent ACEs.
1087In order to use
1088.Xr chmod 2
1089on a file or directory with a non-trivial ACL when
1090.Sy aclmode
1091is set to
1092.Sy restricted ,
1093you must first remove all ACEs except for those that represent the current mode.
1094.It Sy aclimplicit  Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1095Controls whether the owner of an object has "implicit owner rights".
1096If this property is set to
1097.Sy on ,
1098then the owner of an object can always
1099.Xr chmod 2
1100as is expected with traditional
1101.Em POSIX
1102file permissions.
1103If this property is set to
1104.Sy off ,
1105then the owner may only
1106.Xr chmod 2
1107an object where the ACL grants
1108.Sy write_acl
1109to the user attempting the action.
1110The default value is
1111.Sy on .
1112Note that
1113.Sy aclimplicit  Ns = Ns Sy off
1114is only fully effective with
1115.Sy aclmode  Ns = Ns Sy passthrough
1116and
1117.Sy aclinherit  Ns = Ns Sy passthrough
1118because in other configurations, objects can end up having
1119.Sy write_acl
1120granted to the object owner.
1121.It Sy atime Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1122Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
1123Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
1124can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
1125and other similar utilities.
1126The default value is
1127.Sy on .
1128.It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy noauto
1129If this property is set to
1130.Sy off ,
1131the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
1132.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a .
1133Setting this property to
1134.Sy off
1135is similar to setting the
1136.Sy mountpoint
1137property to
1138.Sy none ,
1139except that the dataset still has a normal
1140.Sy mountpoint
1141property, which can be inherited.
1142Setting this property to
1143.Sy off
1144allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties.
1145One example of setting
1146.Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy off
1147is to have two datasets with the same
1148.Sy mountpoint ,
1149so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
1150have different inherited characteristics.
1151.Pp
1152When set to
1153.Sy noauto ,
1154a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly.
1155The dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or
1156imported, nor is it mounted by the
1157.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
1158command or unmounted by the
1159.Nm zfs Cm unmount Fl a

1167.Xc
1168Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity.
1169The default value is
1170.Sy on ,
1171which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm
1172.Po currently,
1173.Sy fletcher4 ,
1174but this may change in future releases
1175.Pc .
1176The value
1177.Sy off
1178disables integrity checking on user data.
1179The value
1180.Sy noparity
1181not only disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data.
1182This setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and
1183should not be used by any other dataset.
1184Disabling checksums is
1185.Sy NOT
1186a recommended practice.
1187.Pp
1188The
1189.Sy sha512 ,
1190.Sy skein ,
1191and
1192.Sy edonr
1193checksum algorithms require enabling the appropriate features on the pool.
1194Please see

1201.Sy gzip- Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy lz4 Ns | Ns Sy lzjb Ns | Ns Sy zle
1202.Xc
1203Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset.
1204.Pp
1205Setting compression to
1206.Sy on
1207indicates that the current default compression algorithm should be used.
1208The default balances compression and decompression speed, with compression ratio
1209and is expected to work well on a wide variety of workloads.
1210Unlike all other settings for this property,
1211.Sy on
1212does not select a fixed compression type.
1213As new compression algorithms are added to ZFS and enabled on a pool, the
1214default compression algorithm may change.
1215The current default compression algorithm is either
1216.Sy lzjb
1217or, if the
1218.Sy lz4_compress
1219feature is enabled,
1220.Sy lz4 .
1221.Pp
1222The
1223.Sy lz4
1224compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement for the
1225.Sy lzjb
1226algorithm.
1227It features significantly faster compression and decompression, as well as a
1228moderately higher compression ratio than
1229.Sy lzjb ,
1230but can only be used on pools with the
1231.Sy lz4_compress
1232feature set to
1233.Sy enabled .
1234See
1235.Xr zpool-features 7
1236for details on ZFS feature flags and the
1237.Sy lz4_compress
1238feature.
1239.Pp
1240The
1241.Sy lzjb
1242compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
1243compression.
1244.Pp
1245The
1246.Sy gzip
1247compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
1248.Xr gzip 1
1249command.
1250You can specify the
1251.Sy gzip
1252level by using the value
1253.Sy gzip- Ns Em N ,
1254where
1255.Em N
1256is an integer from 1
1257.Pq fastest
1258to 9
1259.Pq best compression ratio .
1260Currently,

1267.Pp
1268The
1269.Sy zle
1270compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
1271.Pp
1272This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
1273.Sy compress .
1274Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
1275.It Sy copies Ns = Ns Sy 1 Ns | Ns Sy 2 Ns | Ns Sy 3
1276Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset.
1277These copies are in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for
1278example, mirroring or RAID-Z.
1279The copies are stored on different disks, if possible.
1280The space used by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset,
1281changing the
1282.Sy used
1283property and counting against quotas and reservations.
1284.Pp
1285Changing this property only affects newly-written data.
1286Therefore, set this property at file system creation time by using the
1287.Fl o Sy copies Ns = Ns Ar N
1288option.
1289.It Sy devices Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1290Controls whether device nodes can be opened on this file system.
1291The default value is
1292.Sy on .

1297.Xc
1298Controls the encryption cipher suite
1299.Pq block cipher, key length, and mode
1300used for this dataset.
1301Requires the encryption feature to be enabled on the pool.
1302Requires a
1303.Sy keyformat
1304to be set at dataset creation time.
1305.Pp
1306Selecting
1307.Sy encryption Ns = Ns Sy on
1308when creating a dataset indicates that the default encryption suite will be
1309selected, which is currently
1310.Sy aes-256-ccm .
1311In order to provide consistent data protection, encryption must be specified at
1312dataset creation time and it cannot be changed afterwards.
1313.Pp
1314For more details and caveats about encryption see the
1315.Sx Encryption
1316section.
1317.It Sy keyformat Ns = Ns Sy raw Ns | Ns Sy hex Ns | Ns Sy passphrase
1318Controls what format the user's encryption key will be provided as.
1319This property is only set for encrypted datasets which are encryption roots.
1320.Pp
1321Raw keys and hex keys must be 32 bytes long
1322.Pq regardless of the chosen encryption suite
1323and must be randomly generated.
1324A raw key can be generated with the following command:
1325.Bd -literal
1326# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/output/key bs=32 count=1
1327.Ed
1328.Pp
1329Passphrases must be between 8 and 512 bytes long and will be processed through
1330PBKDF2 before being used
1331.Po see the
1332.Nm pbkdf2iters
1333property
1334.Pc .
1335Even though the encryption suite cannot be changed after dataset creation, the
1336keyformat can be with
1337.Nm Cm change-key .
1338.It Sy keylocation Ns = Ns Sy prompt Ns | Ns Ar file://<absolute file path>
1339Controls where the user's encryption key will be loaded from by default for
1340commands such as
1341.Nm Cm load-key
1342and
1343.Nm Cm mount Fl l .
1344This property is only set for encrypted datasets which are encryption roots.
1345If unspecified, the default is
1346.Sy prompt .
1347.Pp
1348Even though the encryption suite cannot be changed after dataset creation, the
1349keylocation can be with either
1350.Nm Cm set
1351or
1352.Nm Cm change-key .
1353If
1354.Sy prompt
1355is selected ZFS will ask for the key at the command prompt when
1356it is required to access the encrypted data
1357.Po see
1358.Nm Cm load-key
1359.Pc .
1360This setting will also allow the key to be passed in via STDIN, but users
1361should be careful not to place keys which should be kept secret on the
1362command line.
1363If a file URI is selected, the key will be loaded from the specified absolute
1364file path.
1365.It Sy exec Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1366Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system.
1367The default value is
1368.Sy on .
1369.It Sy filesystem_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1370Limits the number of filesystems and volumes that can exist under this point in
1371the dataset tree.
1372The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change the limit.
1373Setting a
1374.Sy filesystem_limit
1375to
1376.Sy on
1377a descendent of a filesystem that already has a
1378.Sy filesystem_limit
1379does not override the ancestor's
1380.Sy filesystem_limit ,
1381but rather imposes an additional limit.
1382This feature must be enabled to be used
1383.Po see
1384.Xr zpool-features 7
1385.Pc .
1386.It Sy special_small_blocks Ns = Ns Em size
1387This value represents the threshold block size for including small file
1388blocks into the special allocation class.
1389Blocks smaller than or equal to this value will be assigned to the special
1390allocation class while greater blocks will be assigned to the regular class.
1391Valid values are zero or a power of two from 512B up to 128K.
1392The default size is 0 which means no small file blocks will be allocated in
1393the special class.
1394.Pp
1395Before setting this property, a special class vdev must be added to the
1396pool.
1397See
1398.Xr zpool 8
1399for more details on the special allocation class.
1400.It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Pa path Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy legacy
1401Controls the mount point used for this file system.
1402See the
1403.Sx Mount Points
1404section for more information on how this property is used.
1405.Pp
1406When the
1407.Sy mountpoint
1408property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1409inherit the mount point are unmounted.
1410If the new value is
1411.Sy legacy ,
1412then they remain unmounted.
1413Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the new location if the property
1414was previously
1415.Sy legacy
1416or
1417.Sy none ,
1418or if they were mounted before the property was changed.
1419In addition, any shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new
1420location.
1421.It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1422Controls whether the file system should be mounted with
1423.Sy nbmand
1424.Pq Non Blocking mandatory locks .
1425This is used for SMB clients.
1426Changes to this property only take effect when the file system is umounted and
1427remounted.
1428See
1429.Xr mount 8
1430for more information on
1431.Sy nbmand
1432mounts.
1433.It Sy pbkdf2iters Ns = Ns Ar iterations
1434Controls the number of PBKDF2 iterations that a
1435.Sy passphrase
1436encryption key should be run through when processing it into an encryption key.
1437This property is only defined when encryption is enabled and a keyformat of
1438.Sy passphrase
1439is selected.
1440The goal of PBKDF2 is to significantly increase the computational difficulty
1441needed to brute force a user's passphrase.
1442This is accomplished by forcing the attacker to run each passphrase through a
1443computationally expensive hashing function many times before they arrive at the
1444resulting key.
1445A user who actually knows the passphrase will only have to pay this cost once.
1446As CPUs become better at processing, this number should be raised to ensure that
1447a brute force attack is still not possible.
1448The current default is 350000 and the minimum is 100000.
1449This property may be changed with
1450.Nm Cm change-key .
1451.It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1452Controls what is cached in the primary cache
1453.Pq ARC .
1454If this property is set to
1455.Sy all ,
1456then both user data and metadata is cached.
1457If this property is set to
1458.Sy none ,
1459then neither user data nor metadata is cached.
1460If this property is set to
1461.Sy metadata ,
1462then only metadata is cached.
1463The default value is
1464.Sy all .
1465.It Sy quota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1466Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume.
1467This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used.
1468This includes all space consumed by descendents, including file systems and
1469snapshots.
1470Setting a quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not
1471override the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1472.Pp
1473Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1474.Sy volsize
1475property acts as an implicit quota.
1476.It Sy snapshot_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1477Limits the number of snapshots that can be created on a dataset and its
1478descendents.
1479Setting a
1480.Sy snapshot_limit
1481on a descendent of a dataset that already has a
1482.Sy snapshot_limit
1483does not override the ancestor's
1484.Sy snapshot_limit ,
1485but rather imposes an additional limit.
1486The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change the limit.
1487For example, this means that recursive snapshots taken from the global zone are
1488counted against each delegated dataset within a zone.
1489This feature must be enabled to be used
1490.Po see
1491.Xr zpool-features 7
1492.Pc .
1493.It Sy userquota@ Ns Em user Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1494Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user.
1495User space consumption is identified by the
1496.Sy userspace@ Ns Em user
1497property.
1498.Pp
1499Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds.
1500This delay means that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices
1501that they are over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1502.Er EDQUOT
1503error message.
1504See the
1505.Nm zfs Cm userspace
1506subcommand for more information.
1507.Pp
1508Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage.
1509The root user, or a user who has been granted the
1510.Sy userquota
1511privilege with
1512.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1513can get and set everyone's quota.
1514.Pp
1515This property is not available on volumes, on file systems before version 4, or
1516on pools before version 15.
1517The
1518.Sy userquota@ Ns Em ...
1519properties are not displayed by
1520.Nm zfs Cm get Sy all .
1521The user's name must be appended after the

1546.It Sy userobjquota@ Ns Em user Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1547The
1548.Sy userobjquota
1549is similar to
1550.Sy userquota
1551but it limits the number of objects a user can create.
1552Please refer to
1553.Sy userobjused
1554for more information about how objects are counted.
1555.It Sy groupquota@ Ns Em group Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1556Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified group.
1557Group space consumption is identified by the
1558.Sy groupused@ Ns Em group
1559property.
1560.Pp
1561Unprivileged users can access only their own groups' space usage.
1562The root user, or a user who has been granted the
1563.Sy groupquota
1564privilege with
1565.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1566can get and set all groups' quotas.
1567.It Sy groupobjquota@ Ns Em group Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1568The
1569.Sy groupobjquota
1570is similar to
1571.Sy groupquota
1572but it limits the number of objects a group can consume.
1573Please refer to
1574.Sy userobjused
1575for more information about how objects are counted.
1576.It Sy projectquota@ Ns Em project Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1577Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified project.
1578Project space consumption is identified by the
1579.Sy projectused@ Ns Em project
1580property.
1581Please refer to
1582.Sy projectused
1583for more information about how project is identified and set or changed.
1584.Pp
1585The root user, or a user who has been granted the
1586.Sy projectquota
1587privilege with
1588.Nm zfs allow ,
1589can access all projects' quotas.
1590.It Sy projectobjquota@ Ns Em project Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1591The
1592.Sy projectobjquota
1593is similar to
1594.Sy projectquota
1595but it limits the number of objects a project can consume.
1596Please refer to
1597.Sy userobjused
1598for more information about how objects are counted.
1599.It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1600Controls whether this dataset can be modified.
1601The default value is
1602.Sy off .
1603.Pp
1604This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1605.Sy rdonly .
1606.It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Em size
1607Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system.
1608This property is designed solely for use with database workloads that access
1609files in fixed-size records.
1610ZFS automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized
1611for typical access patterns.
1612.Pp
1613For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1614chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal.
1615Specifying a
1616.Sy recordsize
1617greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1618significant performance gains.
1619Use of this property for general purpose file systems is strongly discouraged,
1620and may adversely affect performance.
1621.Pp
1622The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1623than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
1624If the
1625.Sy large_blocks
1626feature is enabled on the pool, the size may be up to 1 Mbyte.
1627See
1628.Xr zpool-features 7
1629for details on ZFS feature flags.
1630.Pp
1631Changing the file system's
1632.Sy recordsize
1633affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1634.Pp
1635This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1636.Sy recsize .
1637.It Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy most
1638Controls what types of metadata are stored redundantly.
1639ZFS stores an extra copy of metadata, so that if a single block is corrupted,
1640the amount of user data lost is limited.
1641This extra copy is in addition to any redundancy provided at the pool level
1642.Pq e.g. by mirroring or RAID-Z ,
1643and is in addition to an extra copy specified by the
1644.Sy copies
1645property
1646.Pq up to a total of 3 copies .
1647For example if the pool is mirrored,
1648.Sy copies Ns = Ns 2 ,
1649and
1650.Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy most ,
1651then ZFS stores 6 copies of most metadata, and 4 copies of data and some
1652metadata.
1653.Pp
1654When set to
1655.Sy all ,
1656ZFS stores an extra copy of all metadata.
1657If a single on-disk block is corrupt, at worst a single block of user data
1658.Po which is
1659.Sy recordsize
1660bytes long
1661.Pc
1662can be lost.
1663.Pp
1664When set to
1665.Sy most ,
1666ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of metadata.
1667This can improve performance of random writes, because less metadata must be
1668written.
1669In practice, at worst about 100 blocks
1670.Po of
1671.Sy recordsize
1672bytes each
1673.Pc
1674of user data can be lost if a single on-disk block is corrupt.
1675The exact behavior of which metadata blocks are stored redundantly may change in
1676future releases.
1677.Pp
1678The default value is
1679.Sy all .
1680.It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1681Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume.
1682This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used.
1683This hard limit does not include space used by descendents, including file
1684systems and snapshots.
1685.It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy auto
1686The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1687descendents.
1688When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if
1689it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1690.Sy refreservation .
1691The
1692.Sy refreservation
1693reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1694against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1695.Pp
1696If
1697.Sy refreservation
1698is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside of
1699this reservation to accommodate the current number of
1700.Qq referenced
1701bytes in the dataset.
1702.Pp
1703If
1704.Sy refreservation
1705is set to
1706.Sy auto ,
1707a volume is thick provisioned
1708.Po or
1709.Qq not sparse
1710.Pc .
1711.Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Sy auto
1712is only supported on volumes.
1713See
1714.Sy volsize
1715in the
1716.Sx Native Properties
1717section for more information about sparse volumes.
1718.Pp
1719This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1720.Sy refreserv .
1721.It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1722The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendants.
1723When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if
1724it were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation.
1725Reservations are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count
1726against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1727.Pp
1728This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1729.Sy reserv .
1730.It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1731Controls what is cached in the secondary cache
1732.Pq L2ARC .
1733If this property is set to
1734.Sy all ,
1735then both user data and metadata is cached.
1736If this property is set to
1737.Sy none ,
1738then neither user data nor metadata is cached.
1739If this property is set to
1740.Sy metadata ,
1741then only metadata is cached.
1742The default value is
1743.Sy all .
1744.It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1745Controls whether the setuid bit is respected for the file system.
1746The default value is
1747.Sy on .
1748.It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1749Controls whether the file system is shared via SMB, and what options are to be
1750used.
1751A file system with the
1752.Sy sharesmb
1753property set to
1754.Sy off
1755is managed through traditional tools such as
1756.Xr sharemgr 8 .
1757Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1758.Nm zfs Cm share
1759and
1760.Nm zfs Cm unshare
1761commands.
1762If the property is set to
1763.Sy on ,
1764the
1765.Xr sharemgr 8
1766command is invoked with no options.
1767Otherwise, the
1768.Xr sharemgr 8
1769command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1770.Pp
1771Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is
1772constructed from the dataset name.
1773The constructed name is a copy of the dataset name except that the characters in
1774the dataset name, which would be invalid in the resource name, are replaced with
1775underscore
1776.Pq Sy _
1777characters.
1778A pseudo property
1779.Qq name
1780is also supported that allows you to replace the data set name with a specified
1781name.
1782The specified name is then used to replace the prefix dataset in the case of
1783inheritance.
1784For example, if the dataset
1785.Em data/home/john
1786is set to
1787.Sy name Ns = Ns Sy john ,
1788then
1789.Em data/home/john
1790has a resource name of
1791.Sy john .
1792If a child dataset
1793.Em data/home/john/backups
1794is shared, it has a resource name of
1795.Sy john_backups .
1796.Pp
1797When SMB shares are created, the SMB share name appears as an entry in the
1798.Pa .zfs/shares
1799directory.
1800You can use the
1801.Nm ls
1802or
1803.Nm chmod
1804command to display the share-level ACLs on the entries in this directory.
1805.Pp
1806When the
1807.Sy sharesmb
1808property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1809property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1810set to
1811.Sy off ,
1812or if they were shared before the property was changed.
1813If the new property is set to
1814.Sy off ,
1815the file systems are unshared.
1816.It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1817Controls whether the file system is shared via NFS, and what options are to be
1818used.
1819A file system with a
1820.Sy sharenfs
1821property of
1822.Sy off
1823is managed through traditional tools such as
1824.Xr share 8 ,
1825.Xr unshare 8 ,
1826and
1827.Xr dfstab 5 .
1828Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1829.Nm zfs Cm share
1830and
1831.Nm zfs Cm unshare
1832commands.
1833If the property is set to
1834.Sy on ,
1835.Xr share 8
1836command is invoked with no options.
1837Otherwise, the
1838.Xr share 8
1839command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1840.Pp
1841When the
1842.Sy sharenfs
1843property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1844property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1845.Sy off ,
1846or if they were shared before the property was changed.
1847If the new property is
1848.Sy off ,
1849the file systems are unshared.
1850.It Sy logbias Ns = Ns Sy latency Ns | Ns Sy throughput
1851Provide a hint to ZFS about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
1852If
1853.Sy logbias
1854is set to
1855.Sy latency
1856.Pq the default ,
1857ZFS will use pool log devices
1858.Pq if configured
1859to handle the requests at low latency.
1860If
1861.Sy logbias
1862is set to
1863.Sy throughput ,
1864ZFS will not use configured pool log devices.
1865ZFS will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1866efficient use of resources.
1867.It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Sy hidden Ns | Ns Sy visible
1868Controls whether the
1869.Pa .zfs
1870directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1871the
1872.Sx Snapshots
1873section.
1874The default value is
1875.Sy hidden .
1876.It Sy sync Ns = Ns Sy standard Ns | Ns Sy always Ns | Ns Sy disabled
1877Controls the behavior of synchronous requests
1878.Pq e.g. fsync, O_DSYNC .
1879.Sy standard
1880is the
1881POSIX
1882specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are written to stable
1883storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not cached by device
1884controllers
1885.Pq this is the default .
1886.Sy always
1887causes every file system transaction to be written and flushed before its
1888system call returns.
1889This has a large performance penalty.
1890.Sy disabled
1891disables synchronous requests.
1892File system transactions are only committed to stable storage periodically.
1893This option will give the highest performance.
1894However, it is very dangerous as ZFS would be ignoring the synchronous
1895transaction demands of applications such as databases or NFS.
1896Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1897.It Sy version Ns = Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy current
1898The on-disk version of this file system, which is independent of the pool
1899version.
1900This property can only be set to later supported versions.
1901See the
1902.Nm zfs Cm upgrade
1903command.
1904.It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Em size
1905For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume.
1906By default, creating a volume establishes a reservation of equal size.
1907For storage pools with a version number of 9 or higher, a
1908.Sy refreservation
1909is set instead.
1910Any changes to
1911.Sy volsize
1912are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation
1913.Po or
1914.Sy refreservation
1915.Pc .
1916The
1917.Sy volsize
1918can only be set to a multiple of
1919.Sy volblocksize ,
1920and cannot be zero.
1921.Pp
1922The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent unexpected
1923behavior for consumers.
1924Without the reservation, the volume could run out of space, resulting in
1925undefined behavior or data corruption, depending on how the volume is used.
1926These effects can also occur when the volume size is changed while it is in use
1927.Pq particularly when shrinking the size .
1928Extreme care should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1929.Pp
1930Though not recommended, a
1931.Qq sparse volume
1932.Po also known as
1933.Qq thin provisioned
1934.Pc
1935can be created by specifying the
1936.Fl s
1937option to the
1938.Nm zfs Cm create Fl V
1939command, or by changing the value of the
1940.Sy refreservation
1941property
1942.Po or
1943.Sy reservation
1944property on pool version 8 or earlier
1945.Pc
1946after the volume has been created.
1947A
1948.Qq sparse volume
1949is a volume where the value of
1950.Sy refreservation
1951is less than the size of the volume plus the space required to store its
1952metadata.
1953Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1954.Er ENOSPC
1955when the pool is low on space.
1956For a sparse volume, changes to
1957.Sy volsize
1958are not reflected in the
1959.Sy refreservation .
1960A volume that is not sparse is said to be
1961.Qq thick provisioned .
1962A sparse volume can become thick provisioned by setting
1963.Sy refreservation
1964to
1965.Sy auto .
1966.It Sy vscan Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1967Controls whether regular files should be scanned for viruses when a file is
1968opened and closed.
1969In addition to enabling this property, the virus scan service must also be
1970enabled for virus scanning to occur.
1971The default value is
1972.Sy off .
1973.It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1974Controls whether extended attributes are enabled for this file system.
1975The default value is
1976.Sy on .
1977.It Sy zoned Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1978Controls whether the dataset is managed from a non-global zone.
1979See the
1980.Sx Zones
1981section for more information.
1982The default value is
1983.Sy off .
1984.El
1985.Pp
1986The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1987created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created.
1988If the properties are not set with the
1989.Nm zfs Cm create
1990or
1991.Nm zpool Cm create
1992commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset.
1993If the parent dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to
1994these features being supported, the new file system will have the default values
1995for these properties.
1996.Bl -tag -width ""
1997.It Xo
1998.Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Sy sensitive Ns | Ns
1999.Sy insensitive Ns | Ns Sy mixed
2000.Xc
2001Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system
2002should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both
2003styles of matching.
2004The default value for the
2005.Sy casesensitivity
2006property is
2007.Sy sensitive .
2008Traditionally,
2009.Ux
2010and
2011POSIX
2012file systems have case-sensitive file names.
2013.Pp
2014The
2015.Sy mixed
2016value for the
2017.Sy casesensitivity
2018property indicates that the file system can support requests for both
2019case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching behavior.
2020Currently, case-insensitive matching behavior on a file system that supports
2021mixed behavior is limited to the SMB server product.
2022For more information about the
2023.Sy mixed
2024value behavior, see the "ZFS Administration Guide".
2025.It Xo
2026.Sy normalization Ns = Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy formC Ns | Ns
2027.Sy formD Ns | Ns Sy formKC Ns | Ns Sy formKD
2028.Xc
2029Indicates whether the file system should perform a
2030.Sy unicode
2031normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
2032normalization algorithm should be used.
2033File names are always stored unmodified, names are normalized as part of any
2034comparison process.
2035If this property is set to a legal value other than
2036.Sy none ,
2037and the
2038.Sy utf8only
2039property was left unspecified, the
2040.Sy utf8only
2041property is automatically set to
2042.Sy on .
2043The default value of the
2044.Sy normalization
2045property is
2046.Sy none .
2047This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
2048.It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
2049Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
2050characters that are not present in the
2051.Sy UTF-8
2052character code set.
2053If this property is explicitly set to
2054.Sy off ,
2055the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
2056.Sy none .
2057The default value for the
2058.Sy utf8only
2059property is
2060.Sy off .
2061This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
2062.El
2063.Pp
2064The
2065.Sy casesensitivity ,
2066.Sy normalization ,
2067and
2068.Sy utf8only
2069properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged users
2070by using the ZFS delegated administration feature.
2071.Ss "Temporary Mount Point Properties"
2072When a file system is mounted, either through
2073.Xr mount 8
2074for legacy mounts or the
2075.Nm zfs Cm mount
2076command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
2077properties.
2078The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
2079.Bd -literal
2080    PROPERTY                MOUNT OPTION
2081    devices                 devices/nodevices
2082    exec                    exec/noexec
2083    readonly                ro/rw
2084    setuid                  setuid/nosetuid
2085    xattr                   xattr/noxattr
2086.Ed
2087.Pp
2088In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
2089.Fl o
2090option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk.
2091The values specified on the command line override the values stored in the
2092dataset.
2093The
2094.Sy nosuid
2095option is an alias for
2096.Sy nodevices Ns \&, Ns Sy nosetuid .
2097These properties are reported as
2098.Qq temporary
2099by the
2100.Nm zfs Cm get
2101command.
2102If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new setting
2103overrides any temporary settings.
2104.Ss "User Properties"
2105In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user
2106properties.
2107User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or
2108administrators can use them to annotate datasets
2109.Pq file systems, volumes, and snapshots .
2110.Pp
2111User property names must contain a colon
2112.Pq Qq Sy \&:
2113character to distinguish them from native properties.
2114They may contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation
2115characters: colon
2116.Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
2117dash
2118.Pq Qq Sy - ,
2119period
2120.Pq Qq Sy \&. ,
2121and underscore
2122.Pq Qq Sy _ .
2123The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
2124such as
2125.Em module Ns \&: Ns Em property ,
2126but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS.
2127User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
2128.Pq Qq Sy - .
2129.Pp
2130When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use
2131a reversed
2132.Sy DNS
2133domain name for the
2134.Em module
2135component of property names to reduce the chance that two
2136independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
2137purposes.
2138.Pp
2139The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
2140are never validated.
2141All of the commands that operate on properties
2142.Po Nm zfs Cm list ,
2143.Nm zfs Cm get ,
2144.Nm zfs Cm set ,
2145and so forth
2146.Pc
2147can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties.
2148Use the
2149.Nm zfs Cm inherit
2150command to clear a user property.
2151If the property is not defined in any parent dataset, it is removed entirely.
2152Property values are limited to 8192 bytes.
2153.Ss ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices
2154During an initial installation a swap device and dump device are created on ZFS
2155volumes in the ZFS root pool.
2156By default, the swap area size is based on 1/2 the size of physical memory up to
21572 Gbytes.
2158The size of the dump device depends on the kernel's requirements at installation
2159time.
2160Separate ZFS volumes must be used for the swap area and dump devices.
2161Do not swap to a file on a ZFS file system.
2162A ZFS swap file configuration is not supported.
2163.Pp
2164If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is
2165installed or upgraded, use the
2166.Xr swap 8
2167and
2168.Xr dumpadm 8
2169commands.
2170.Ss "Encryption"
2171Enabling the
2172.Sy encryption
2173feature allows for the creation of encrypted filesystems and volumes.
2174ZFS will encrypt all user data including file and zvol data, file attributes,
2175ACLs, permission bits, directory listings, FUID mappings, and userused/groupused
2176data.
2177ZFS
2178will not encrypt metadata related to the pool structure, including dataset
2179names, dataset hierarchy, file size, file holes, and dedup tables.
2180Key rotation is managed internally by the ZFS kernel module and changing the
2181user's key does not require re-encrypting the entire dataset.
2182Datasets can be scrubbed, resilvered, renamed, and deleted without the
2183encryption keys being loaded
2184.Po see the
2185.Nm Cm load-key
2186subcommand for more info on key loading
2187.Pc .
2188.Pp
2189Creating an encrypted dataset requires specifying the
2190.Sy encryption
2191and
2192.Sy keyformat
2193properties at creation time, along with an optional
2194.Sy keylocation
2195and
2196.Sy pbkdf2iters .
2197After entering an encryption key, the created
2198dataset will become an encryption root.
2199Any descendant datasets will inherit their encryption key from the encryption
2200root by default, meaning that loading, unloading, or changing the key for the
2201encryption root will implicitly do the same for all inheriting datasets.
2202If this inheritance is not desired, simply supply a
2203.Sy keyformat
2204when creating the child dataset or use
2205.Nm Cm change-key
2206to break an existing relationship, creating a new encryption root on the child.
2207Note that the child's
2208.Sy keyformat
2209may match that of the parent while still creating a new encryption root, and
2210that changing the
2211.Sy encryption
2212property alone does not create a new encryption root; this would simply use a
2213different cipher suite with the same key as its encryption root.
2214The one exception is that clones will always use their origin's encryption key.
2215As a result of this exception, some encryption-related properties (namely
2216.Sy keystatus ,
2217.Sy keyformat ,
2218.Sy keylocation ,
2219and
2220.Sy pbkdf2iters )
2221do not inherit like other ZFS properties and instead use the value determined
2222by their encryption root.
2223Encryption root inheritance can be tracked via the read-only
2224.Sy encryptionroot
2225property.
2226.Pp
2227Encryption changes the behavior of a few ZFS operations.
2228Encryption is applied after compression so compression ratios are preserved.
2229Normally checksums in ZFS are 256 bits long, but for encrypted data the checksum
2230is 128 bits of the user-chosen checksum and 128 bits of MAC from the encryption
2231suite, which provides additional protection against maliciously altered data.
2232Deduplication is still possible with encryption enabled but for security,
2233datasets will only dedup against themselves, their snapshots, and their clones.
2234.Pp
2235There are a few limitations on encrypted datasets.
2236Encrypted data cannot be embedded via the
2237.Sy embedded_data
2238feature.
2239Encrypted datasets may not have
2240.Sy copies Ns = Ns Sy 3
2241since the implementation stores some encryption metadata where the third copy
2242would normally be.
2243Since compression is applied before encryption datasets may be vulnerable to a
2244CRIME-like attack if applications accessing the data allow for it.
2245Deduplication with encryption will leak information about which blocks are
2246equivalent in a dataset and will incur an extra CPU cost per block written.
2247.Sh SUBCOMMANDS
2248All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their
2249original form.

3033However,

3483This is useful in conjunction with the
3484.Fl v
3485or
3486.Fl P
3487flags to determine what data will be sent.
3488In this case, the verbose output will be written to standard output
3489.Po contrast with a non-dry-run, where the stream is written to standard output
3490and the verbose output goes to standard error
3491.Pc .
3492.It Fl p , -props
3493Include the dataset's properties in the stream.
3494This flag is implicit when
3495.Fl R

3497The receiving system must also support this feature.
3498Sends of encrypted datasets must use
3499.Fl w
3500when using this flag.
3501.It Fl w , -raw
3502For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists on disk.
3503This allows backups to be taken even if encryption keys are not currently
3504loaded.
3505The backup may then be received on an untrusted machine since that machine will
3506not have the encryption keys to read the protected data or alter it without
3507being detected.
3508Upon being received, the dataset will have the same encryption keys as it did
3509on the send side, although the
3510.Sy keylocation
3511property will be defaulted to
3512.Sy prompt
3513if not otherwise provided.
3514For unencrypted datasets, this flag will be equivalent to
3515.Fl Lec .
3516Note that if you do not use this flag for sending encrypted datasets,
3517data will be sent unencrypted and may be re-encrypted with a different
3518encryption key on the receiving system, which will disable the ability
3519to do a raw send to that system for incrementals.
3520.It Fl v , -verbose

3613If the incremental target is a clone, the incremental source can be the origin
3614snapshot, or an earlier snapshot in the origin's filesystem, or the origin's
3615origin, etc.
3616.It Fl w , -raw
3617For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists on disk.
3618This allows backups to be taken even if encryption keys are not currently
3619loaded.
3620The backup may then be received on an untrusted machine since that machine will
3621not have the encryption keys to read the protected data or alter it without
3622being detected.
3623Upon being received, the dataset will have the same encryption keys as it did
3624on the send side, although the
3625.Sy keylocation
3626property will be defaulted to
3627.Sy prompt
3628if not otherwise provided.
3629For unencrypted datasets, this flag will be equivalent to
3630.Fl Lec .
3631Note that if you do not use this flag for sending encrypted datasets,
3632data will be sent unencrypted and may be re-encrypted with a different
3633encryption key on the receiving system, which will disable the ability
3634to do a raw send to that system for incrementals.

3670Creates a snapshot whose contents are as specified in the stream provided on

3672If a full stream is received, then a new file system is created as well.
3673Streams are created using the
3674.Nm zfs Cm send
3675subcommand, which by default creates a full stream.
3676.Nm zfs Cm recv
3677can be used as an alias for
3678.Nm zfs Cm receive .
3679.Pp
3680If an incremental stream is received, then the destination file system must
3681already exist, and its most recent snapshot must match the incremental stream's
3682source.
3683For
3684.Sy zvols ,
3685the destination device link is destroyed and recreated, which means the
3686.Sy zvol
3687cannot be accessed during the
3688.Cm receive
3689operation.
3690.Pp
3691When a snapshot replication package stream that is generated by using the
3692.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R
3693command is received, any snapshots that do not exist on the sending location are
3694destroyed by using the
3695.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
3696command.
3697.Pp
3698If
3699.Fl o Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
3700or
3701.Fl x Em property
3702is specified, it applies to the effective value of the property throughout
3703the entire subtree of replicated datasets.
3704Effective property values will be
3705set (
3706.Fl o
3707) or inherited (
3708.Fl x
3709) on the topmost in the replicated subtree.
3710In descendant datasets, if the property is set by the send stream, it will be
3711overridden by forcing the property to be inherited from the top‐most file
3712system.
3713Received properties are retained in spite of being overridden and may be
3714restored with
3715.Nm zfs Cm inherit Fl S .
3716Specifying
3717.Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Em snapshot
3718is a special case because, even if
3719.Sy origin
3720is a read-only property and cannot be set, it's allowed to receive the send
3721stream as a clone of the given snapshot.
3722.Pp
3723Raw encrypted send streams (created with
3724.Nm zfs Cm send Fl w
3725) may only be received as is, and cannot be re-encrypted, decrypted, or
3726recompressed by the receive process.
3727Unencrypted streams can be received as encrypted datasets, either through
3728inheritance or by specifying encryption parameters with the
3729.Fl o
3730options.
3731Note that the
3732.Sy keylocation
3733property cannot be overridden to
3734.Sy prompt
3735during a receive.
3736This is because the receive process itself is already using
3737stdin for the send stream.
3738Instead, the property can be overridden after the receive completes.
3739.Pp
3740The added security provided by raw sends adds some restrictions to the send
3741and receive process.
3742ZFS will not allow a mix of raw receives and non-raw receives.
3743Specifically, any raw incremental receives that are attempted after
3744a non-raw receive will fail.
3745Non-raw receives do not have this restriction and, therefore, are always
3746possible.
3747Because of this, it is best practice to always use either raw sends for
3748their security benefits or non-raw sends for their flexibility when working
3749with encrypted datasets, but not a combination.
3750.Pp
3751The reason for this restriction stems from the inherent restrictions of the
3752AEAD ciphers that ZFS uses to encrypt data.
3753When using ZFS native encryption, each block of data is encrypted against
3754a randomly generated number known as the "initialization vector" (IV),
3755which is stored in the filesystem metadata.
3756This number is required by the encryption algorithms whenever the data is to
3757be decrypted.
3758Together, all of the IVs provided for all of the blocks in a given snapshot
3759are collectively called an "IV set".
3760When ZFS performs a raw send, the IV set is transferred from the source to
3761the destination in the send stream.
3762When ZFS performs a non-raw send, the data is decrypted by the source
3763system and re-encrypted by the destination system, creating a snapshot with
3764effectively the same data, but a different IV set.
3765In order for decryption to work after a raw send, ZFS must ensure that the
3766IV set used on both the source and destination side match.
3767When an incremental raw receive is performed on top of an existing snapshot,
3768ZFS will check to confirm that the "from" snapshot on both the source and
3769destination were using the same IV set, ensuring the new IV set is consistent.
3770.Pp
3771The name of the snapshot
3772.Pq and file system, if a full stream is received
3773that this subcommand creates depends on the argument type and the use of the
3774.Fl d
3775or
3776.Fl e
3777options.
3778.Pp
3779If the argument is a snapshot name, the specified
3780.Ar snapshot
3781is created.
3782If the argument is a file system or volume name, a snapshot with the same name
3783as the sent snapshot is created within the specified
3784.Ar filesystem
3785or
3786.Ar volume .
3787If neither of the
3788.Fl d
3789or
3790.Fl e
3791options are specified, the provided target snapshot name is used exactly as
3792provided.
3793.Pp
3794The
3795.Fl d
3796and
3797.Fl e
3798options cause the file system name of the target snapshot to be determined by
3799appending a portion of the sent snapshot's name to the specified target
3800.Ar filesystem .
3801If the
3802.Fl d
3803option is specified, all but the first element of the sent snapshot's file
3804system path
3805.Pq usually the pool name
3806is used and any required intermediate file systems within the specified one are
3807created.
3808If the
3809.Fl e
3810option is specified, then only the last element of the sent snapshot's file
3811system name
3812.Pq i.e. the name of the source file system itself
3813is used as the target file system name.

3828Discard all but the last element of the sent snapshot's file system name, using

3833There is no effect if holds are not sent.
3834.It Fl n
3835Do not actually receive the stream.
3836This can be useful in conjunction with the
3837.Fl v
3838option to verify the name the receive operation would use.
3839.It Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Ar snapshot
3840Forces the stream to be received as a clone of the given snapshot.
3841If the stream is a full send stream, this will create the filesystem
3842described by the stream as a clone of the specified snapshot.
3843Which snapshot was specified will not affect the success or failure of the
3844receive, as long as the snapshot does exist.
3845If the stream is an incremental send stream, all the normal verification will be
3846performed.
3847.It Fl o Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
3848Sets the specified property as if the command
3849.Nm zfs Cm set Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
3850was invoked immediately before the receive.
3851When receiving a stream from
3852.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R ,
3853causes the property to be inherited by all descendant datasets, as though
3854.Nm zfs Cm inherit Em property
3855was run on any descendant datasets that have this property set on the
3856sending system.
3857.Pp
3858Any editable property can be set at receive time.
3859Set-once properties bound to the received data, such as
3860.Sy normalization
3861and
3862.Sy casesensitivity ,
3863cannot be set at receive time even when the datasets are newly created by
3864.Nm zfs Cm receive .
3865Additionally both settable properties
3866.Sy version
3867and
3868.Sy volsize
3869cannot be set at receive time.
3870.Pp
3871The
3872.Fl o
3873option may be specified multiple times, for different properties.
3874An error results if the same property is specified in multiple
3875.Fl o
3876or
3877.Fl x
3878options.
3879.Pp
3880The
3881.Fl o
3882option may also be used to override encryption properties upon initial
3883receive.
3884This allows unencrypted streams to be received as encrypted datasets.
3885To cause the received dataset (or root dataset of a recursive stream) to be
3886received as an encryption root, specify encryption properties in the same
3887manner as is required for
3888.Nm
3889.Cm create .
3890For instance:
3891.Bd -literal
3892# zfs send tank/test@snap1 | zfs recv -o encryption=on -o keyformat=passphrase -o keylocation=file:///path/to/keyfile
3893.Ed
3894.Pp
3895Note that
3896.Op Fl o Ar keylocation Ns = Ns Ar prompt
3897may not be specified here, since stdin is already being utilized for the send
3898stream.
3899Once the receive has completed, you can use
3900.Nm
3901.Cm set
3902to change this setting after the fact.
3903Similarly, you can receive a dataset as an encrypted child by specifying
3904.Op Fl x Ar encryption
3905to force the property to be inherited.
3906Overriding encryption properties (except for
3907.Sy keylocation )
3908is not possible with raw send streams.
3909.It Fl s
3910If the receive is interrupted, save the partially received state, rather
3911than deleting it.
3912Interruption may be due to premature termination of the stream
3913.Po e.g. due to network failure or failure of the remote system
3914if the stream is being read over a network connection
3915.Pc ,
3916a checksum error in the stream, termination of the
3917.Nm zfs Cm receive
3918process, or unclean shutdown of the system.
3919.Pp
3920The receive can be resumed with a stream generated by
3921.Nm zfs Cm send Fl t Ar token ,
3922where the
3923.Ar token
3924is the value of the
3925.Sy receive_resume_token
3926property of the filesystem or volume which is received into.
3927.Pp
3928To use this flag, the storage pool must have the
3929.Sy extensible_dataset
3930feature enabled.
3931See
3932.Xr zpool-features 7
3933for details on ZFS feature flags.
3934.It Fl u
3935File system that is associated with the received stream is not mounted.
3936.It Fl v
3937Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the
3938receive operation.
3939.It Fl x Em property
3940Ensures that the effective value of the specified property after the
3941receive is unaffected by the value of that property in the send stream (if any),
3942as if the property had been excluded from the send stream.
3943.Pp
3944If the specified property is not present in the send stream, this option does
3945nothing.
3946.Pp
3947If a received property needs to be overridden, the effective value will be
3948set or inherited, depending on whether the property is inheritable or not.
3949.Pp
3950In the case of an incremental update,
3951.Fl x
3952leaves any existing local setting or explicit inheritance unchanged.
3953.Pp
