259.Sh DESCRIPTION
260The
261.Nm
262command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
263.Xr zpool 1M .
264A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace. For example:
265.Bd -literal
266pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
267.Ed
268.Pp
269where the maximum length of a dataset name is
270.Dv MAXNAMELEN
271.Pq 256 bytes .
272.Pp
273A dataset can be one of the following:
274.Bl -tag -width "file system"
275.It Sy file system
276A ZFS dataset of type
277.Sy filesystem
278can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
279systems. While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX compliant, known issues
280exist that prevent compliance in some cases. Applications that depend on
281standards conformance might fail due to non-standard behavior when checking file
282system free space.
283.It Sy volume
284A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
285only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
286most environments.
287.It Sy snapshot
288A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
289specified as
290.Ar filesystem Ns @ Ns Ar name
291or
292.Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar name .
293.El
294.Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
295A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
296datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the ZFS file system hierarchy.
297.Pp
298The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
299unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
300characteristics, however, are managed by the
301.Xr zpool 1M
302command.
303.Pp
304See
305.Xr zpool 1M
306for more information on creating and administering pools.
307.Ss Snapshots
308A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
309created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
310pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
311data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
312.Pp
313Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
314rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
315.Pp
316File system snapshots can be accessed under the
317.Pa .zfs/snapshot
318directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted on
319demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
320.Pa .zfs
321directory can be controlled by the
322snapdir
323property.
324.Ss Clones
325A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
326as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly instantaneous,
327and initially consumes no additional space.
328.Pp
329Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
330creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
331clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
332cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
333.Sy origin
334property exposes this dependency, and the
335.Cm destroy
336command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
337.Pp
338The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
339.Cm promote
340subcommand. This causes the
341.Qq origin
342file system to become a clone of the specified file system, which makes it
343possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created from.
344.Ss "Mount Points"
345Creating a ZFS file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems
346per system is likely to be numerous. To cope with this, ZFS automatically
347manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to edit the
348.Pa /etc/vfstab
349file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by ZFS at boot time.
350.Pp
351By default, file systems are mounted under
352.Pa /path ,
353where
354.Ar path
355is the name of the file system in the ZFS namespace. Directories are created and
356destroyed as needed.
357.Pp
358A file system can also have a mount point set in the
359.Sy mountpoint
360property. This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the
361file system when the
362.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
363command is invoked
364.Po without editing
365.Pa /etc/vfstab
366.Pc .
367The
368.Sy mountpoint
369property can be inherited, so if
370.Em pool/home
371has a mount point of
372.Pa /export/stuff ,
373then
374.Em pool/home/user
375automatically inherits a mount point of
376.Pa /export/stuff/user .
377.Pp
378A file system
379.Sy mountpoint
380property of
381.Sy none
382prevents the file system from being mounted.
383.Pp
384If needed, ZFS file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
385.Po
386.Nm mount ,
387.Nm umount ,
388.Pa /etc/vfstab
389.Pc .
390If a file system's mount point is set to
391.Sy legacy ,
392ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
393responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
394.Ss "Zones"
395A ZFS file system can be added to a non-global zone by using the
396.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy fs
397subcommand. A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its
398.Sy mountpoint
399property set to
400.Sy legacy .
401.Pp
402The physical properties of an added file system are controlled by the global
403administrator. However, the zone administrator can create, modify, or destroy
404files within the added file system, depending on how the file system is mounted.
405.Pp
406A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using the
407.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy dataset
408subcommand. You cannot delegate a dataset to one zone and the children of the
409same dataset to another zone. The zone administrator can change properties of
410the dataset or any of its children. However, the
411.Sy quota ,
412.Sy filesystem_limit
413and
414.Sy snapshot_limit
415properties of the delegated dataset can be modified only by the global
416administrator.
417.Pp
418A ZFS volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using the
419.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy device
420subcommand. However, its physical properties can be modified only by the global
421administrator.
422.Pp
423For more information about
424.Nm zonecfg
425syntax, see
426.Xr zonecfg 1M .
427.Pp
428After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the
429.Sy zoned
430property is automatically set. A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the
431global zone, since the zone administrator might have to set the mount point to
432an unacceptable value.
433.Pp
434The global administrator can forcibly clear the
435.Sy zoned
436property, though this should be done with extreme care. The global administrator
437should verify that all the mount points are acceptable before clearing the
438property.
439.Ss Native Properties
440Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined
441.Po or
442.Qq user
443.Pc
444properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS
445behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
446properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
447datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment. For more information
448about user properties, see the
449.Sx User Properties
450section, below.
451.Pp
452Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
453as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
454unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
455datasets
456.Pq file systems, volumes, or snapshots .
457.Pp
458The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
459.Po for example,
460.Sy k ,
461.Sy KB ,
462.Sy M ,
463.Sy Gb ,
464and so forth, up to
465.Sy Z
466for zettabyte
467.Pc .
468The following are all valid
469.Pq and equal
470specifications:
471.Li 1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB .
472.Pp
473The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
474except for
475.Sy mountpoint ,
476.Sy sharenfs ,
477and
478.Sy sharesmb .
479.Pp
480The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
481dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
482apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
483.Bl -tag -width "usedbyrefreservation"
484.It Sy available
485The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming that
486there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a pool,
487availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical pool
488size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
489.Pp
490This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
491.Sy avail .
492.It Sy compressratio
493For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
494.Sy used
495space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
496.Sy used
497property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include the
498space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
499.Sy compressratio
500is the same as the
501.Sy refcompressratio
502property. Compression can be turned on by running:
503.Nm zfs Cm set Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ar dataset .
504The default value is
505.Sy off .
506.It Sy creation
507The time this dataset was created.
508.It Sy clones
509For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or volumes
510which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
511.Sy origin
512property is this snapshot. If the
513.Sy clones
514property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed
515.Po even with the
516.Fl r
517or
518.Fl f
519options
520.Pc .
521.It Sy defer_destroy
522This property is
523.Sy on
524if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
525.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
526command. Otherwise, the property is
527.Sy off .
528.It Sy filesystem_count
529The total number of filesystems and volumes that exist under this location in
530the dataset tree. This value is only available when a
531.Sy filesystem_limit
532has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
533.It Sy logicalreferenced
534The amount of space that is
535.Qq logically
536accessible by this dataset. See the
537.Sy referenced
538property. The logical space ignores the effect of the
539.Sy compression
540and
541.Sy copies
542properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
543see. However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
544.Pp
545This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
546.Sy lrefer .
547.It Sy logicalused
548The amount of space that is
549.Qq logically
550consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. See the
551.Sy used
552property. The logical space ignores the effect of the
553.Sy compression
554and
555.Sy copies
556properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
557see. However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
558.Pp
559This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
560.Sy lused .
561.It Sy mounted
562For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
563property can be either
564.Sy yes
565or
566.Sy no .
567.It Sy origin
568For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
569created. See also the
570.Sy clones
571property.
572.It Sy referenced
573The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
574shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
575initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
576was created from, since its contents are identical.
577.Pp
578This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
579.Sy refer .
580.It Sy refcompressratio
581The compression ratio achieved for the
582.Sy referenced
583space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
584.Sy compressratio
585property.
586.It Sy snapshot_count
587The total number of snapshots that exist under this location in the dataset
588tree. This value is only available when a
589.Sy snapshot_limit
590has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
591.It Sy type
592The type of dataset:
593.Sy filesystem ,
594.Sy volume ,
595or
596.Sy snapshot .
597.It Sy used
598The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
599the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
600space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
601account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
602dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
603if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
604its reservation.
605.Pp
606When snapshots
607.Po see the
608.Sx Snapshots
609section
610.Pc
611are created, their space is initially shared between the snapshot and
612the file system, and possibly with previous snapshots. As the file system
613changes, space that was previously shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and
614counted in the snapshot's space used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can

616.Pq and used by
617other snapshots.
618.Pp
619The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
620pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
621seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
622.Xr fsync 3C
623or
624.Dv O_SYNC
625does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
626immediately.
627.It Sy usedby*
628The
629.Sy usedby*
630properties decompose the
631.Sy used
632properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
633.Sy used No =
634.Sy usedbychildren No +

642.It Sy usedbychildren
643The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if

655set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
656.Sy refreservation
657was removed.
658.It Sy usedbysnapshots
659The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
660the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
661destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
662.Sy used
663properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
664.It Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em user

730.It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Em blocksize
731For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
732.Sy blocksize
733cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
734volume creation time. The default
735.Sy blocksize
736for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
737.Pp
738This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,

809.El
810.Pp
811When the property value is set to
812.Sy passthrough ,
813files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable
814.Sy ACE Ns s .
815If no inheritable
816.Sy ACE Ns s
817exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in accordance to the requested

819.It Xo
820.Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy groupmask Ns | Ns
821.Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy restricted

827.Bl -tag -width "passthrough"
828.It Sy discard
829default, deletes all

832.It Sy groupmask
833reduces permissions granted in all
834.Sy ALLOW
835entries found in the
836.Sy ACL
837such that they are no greater than the group permissions specified by
838.Xr chmod 2 .
839.It Sy passthrough
840indicates that no changes are made to the
841.Sy ACL
842other than creating or updating the necessary
843.Sy ACE Ns s
844to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
845.It Sy restricted
846causes the
847.Xr chmod 2
848operation to return an error when used on any file or directory which has a
849non-trivial
850.Sy ACE Ns s
851whose entries can not be represented by a mode.
852.El
853.Pp
854.Xr chmod 2
855is required to change the set user ID, set group ID, or sticky bits on a file or
856directory, as they do not have equivalent
857.Sy ACE Ns s.
858In order to use
859.Xr chmod 2
860on a file or directory with a non-trivial
861.Sy ACL
862when
863.Sy aclmode
864is set to
865.Sy restricted ,
866you must first remove all
867.Sy ACE Ns s
868which do not represent the current mode.
869.It Sy atime Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
870Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
871Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
872can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
873and other similar utilities. The default value is
874.Sy on .
875.It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy noauto
876If this property is set to
877.Sy off ,
878the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
879.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a .
880Setting this property to
881.Sy off
882is similar to setting the
883.Sy mountpoint
884property to
885.Sy none ,
886except that the dataset still has a normal
887.Sy mountpoint
888property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
889.Sy off
890allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
891example of setting
892.Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy off
893is to have two datasets with the same
894.Sy mountpoint ,
895so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
896have different inherited characteristics.
897.Pp
898When set to
899.Sy noauto ,
900a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The dataset is not
901mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported, nor is it mounted
902by the
903.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
904command or unmounted by the
905.Nm zfs Cm unmount Fl a
906command.
907.Pp
908This property is not inherited.
909.It Xo
910.Sy checksum Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy fletcher2 Ns | Ns
911.Sy fletcher4 Ns | Ns Sy sha256 Ns | Ns Sy noparity
912.Xc
913Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
914.Sy on ,
915which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm
916.Po currently,
917.Sy fletcher4 ,
918but this may change in future releases
919.Pc .
920The value
921.Sy off
922disables integrity checking on user data. The value
923.Sy noparity
924not only disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data.
925This setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and
926should not be used by any other dataset. Disabling checksums is
927.Sy NOT
928a recommended practice.
929.Pp
930Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
931.It Xo
932.Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy gzip Ns | Ns
933.Sy gzip- Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy lz4 Ns | Ns Sy lzjb Ns | Ns Sy zle
934.Xc
935Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset.
936.Pp
937Setting compression to
938.Sy on
939indicates that the current default compression algorithm should be used. The
940default balances compression and decompression speed, with compression ratio and
941is expected to work well on a wide variety of workloads.  Unlike all other
942settings for this property,
943.Sy on
944does not select a fixed compression type. As new compression algorithms are
945added to ZFS and enabled on a pool, the default compression algorithm may
946change. The current default compression algorthm is either
947.Sy lzjb
948or, if the
949.Sy lz4_compress
950feature is enabled,
951.Sy lz4 .
952.Pp
953The
954.Sy lz4
955compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement for the
956.Sy lzjb
957algorithm. It features significantly faster compression and decompression, as
958well as a moderately higher compression ratio than
959.Sy lzjb ,
960but can only be used on pools with the
961.Sy lz4_compress
962feature set to
963.Sy enabled .
964See
965.Xr zpool-features 5
966for details on ZFS feature flags and the
967.Sy lz4_compress
968feature.
969.Pp
970The
971.Sy lzjb
972compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
973compression.
974.Pp
975The
976.Sy gzip
977compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
978.Xr gzip 1
979command. You can specify the
980.Sy gzip
981level by using the value
982.Sy gzip- Ns Em N ,
983where
984.Em N
985is an integer from 1
986.Pq fastest
987to 9
988.Pq best compression ratio .
989Currently,
990.Sy gzip
991is equivalent to
992.Sy gzip-6
993.Po which is also the default for
994.Xr gzip 1
995.Pc .
996.Pp
997The
998.Sy zle
999compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
1000.Pp
1001This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
1002\fBcompress\fR. Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
1003.It Sy copies Ns = Ns Sy 1 Ns | Ns Sy 2 Ns | Ns Sy 3
1004Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
1005in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
1006RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
1007by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
1008.Sy used
1009property and counting against quotas and reservations.
1010.Pp
1011Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
1012property at file system creation time by using the
1013.Fl o Sy copies Ns = Ns Ar N
1014option.
1015.It Sy devices Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1016Controls whether device nodes can be opened on this file system. The default
1017value is
1018.Sy on .
1019.It Sy exec Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1020Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
1021default value is
1022.Sy on .
1023.It Sy filesystem_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1024Limits the number of filesystems and volumes that can exist under this point in
1025the dataset tree. The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change
1026the limit. Setting a
1027.Sy filesystem_limit
1028to
1029.Sy on
1030a descendent of a filesystem that already has a
1031.Sy filesystem_limit
1032does not override the ancestor's
1033.Sy filesystem_limit ,
1034but rather imposes an additional limit. This feature must be enabled to be used
1035.Po see
1036.Xr zpool-features 5
1037.Pc .
1038.It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Pa path Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy legacy
1039Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
1040.Sx Mount Points
1041section for more information on how this property is used.
1042.Pp
1043When the
1044.Sy mountpoint
1045property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1046inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
1047.Sy legacy ,
1048then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
1049new location if the property was previously
1050.Sy legacy
1051or
1052.Sy none ,
1053or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any shared
1054file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
1055.It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1056Controls whether the file system should be mounted with
1057.Sy nbmand
1058.Pq Non Blocking mandatory locks .
1059This is used for SMB clients. Changes to this property only take effect when the
1060file system is umounted and remounted. See
1061.Xr mount 1M
1062for more information on
1063.Sy nbmand
1064mounts.
1065.It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1066Controls what is cached in the primary cache
1067.Pq ARC .
1068If this property is set to
1069.Sy all ,
1070then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1071.Sy none ,
1072then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1073.Sy metadata ,
1074then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1075.Sy all .
1076.It Sy quota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1077Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
1078property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
1079space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
1080quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
1081the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1082.Pp
1083Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1084.Sy volsize
1085property acts as an implicit quota.
1086.It Sy snapshot_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1087Limits the number of snapshots that can be created on a dataset and its
1088descendents. Setting a
1089.Sy snapshot_limit
1090on a descendent of a dataset that already has a
1091.Sy snapshot_limit
1092does not override the ancestor's
1093.Sy snapshot_limit ,
1094but rather imposes an additional limit. The limit is not enforced if the user is
1095allowed to change the limit. For example, this means that recursive snapshots
1096taken from the global zone are counted against each delegated dataset within
1097a zone. This feature must be enabled to be used
1098.Po see
1099.Xr zpool-features 5
1100.Pc .
1101.It Sy userquota@ Ns Em user Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1102Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user. User space
1103consumption is identified by the
1104.Sy userspace@ Ns Em user
1105property.
1106.Pp
1107Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
1108that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
1109over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1110.Er EDQUOT
1111error message. See the
1112.Nm zfs Cm userspace
1113subcommand for more information.
1114.Pp
1115Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
1116user, or a user who has been granted the
1117.Sy userquota
1118privilege with
1119.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1120can get and set everyone's quota.
1121.Pp
1122This property is not available on volumes, on file systems before version 4, or
1123on pools before version 15. The
1124.Sy userquota@ Ns Em ...
1125properties are not displayed by
1126.Nm zfs Cm get Sy all .
1127The user's name must be appended after the

1150.Pc
1151.El
1152.It Sy groupquota@ Ns Em group Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1153Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified group. Group space
1154consumption is identified by the
1155.Sy groupused@ Ns Em group
1156property.
1157.Pp
1158Unprivileged users can access only their own groups' space usage. The root
1159user, or a user who has been granted the
1160.Sy groupquota
1161privilege with
1162.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1163can get and set all groups' quotas.
1164.It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1165Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
1166.Sy off .
1167.Pp
1168This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1169.Sy rdonly .
1170.It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Em size
1171Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
1172designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
1173records. ZFS automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms
1174optimized for typical access patterns.
1175.Pp
1176For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1177chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
1178.Sy recordsize
1179greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1180significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
1181systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
1182.Pp
1183The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1184than or equal to 128 Kbytes. If the
1185.Sy large_blocks
1186feature is enabled on the pool, the size may be up to 1 Mbyte. See
1187.Xr zpool-features 5
1188for details on ZFS feature flags.
1189.Pp
1190Changing the file system's
1191.Sy recordsize
1192affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1193.Pp
1194This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1195.Sy recsize .
1196.It Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy most
1197Controls what types of metadata are stored redundantly. ZFS stores an extra copy
1198of metadata, so that if a single block is corrupted, the amount of user data
1199lost is limited. This extra copy is in addition to any redundancy provided at
1200the pool level
1201.Pq e.g. by mirroring or RAID-Z ,
1202and is in addition to an extra copy specified by the
1203.Sy copies
1204property
1205.Pq up to a total of 3 copies .
1206For example if the pool is mirrored,
1207.Sy copies Ns = Ns 2 ,
1208and
1209.Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy most ,
1210then ZFS stores 6 copies of most metadata, and 4 copies of data and some
1211metadata.
1212.Pp
1213When set to
1214.Sy all ,
1215ZFS stores an extra copy of all metadata. If a single on-disk block is corrupt,
1216at worst a single block of user data
1217.Po which is
1218.Sy recordsize
1219bytes long
1220.Pc
1221can be lost.
1222.Pp
1223When set to
1224.Sy most ,
1225ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of metadata. This can improve performance
1226of random writes, because less metadata must be written. In practice, at worst
1227about 100 blocks
1228.Po of
1229.Sy recordsize
1230bytes each
1231.Pc
1232of user data can be lost if a single on-disk block is corrupt. The exact
1233behavior of which metadata blocks are stored redundantly may change in future
1234releases.
1235.Pp
1236The default value is
1237.Sy all .
1238.It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1239Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
1240limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
1241by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
1242.It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1243The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1244descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
1245treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1246.Sy refreservation .
1247The
1248.Sy refreservation
1249reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1250against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1251.Pp
1252If
1253.Sy refreservation
1254is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside of
1255this reservation to accommodate the current number of
1256.Qq referenced
1257bytes in the dataset.
1258.Pp
1259This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1260.Sy refreserv .
1261.It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1262The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
1263the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
1264were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
1265are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
1266parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1267.Pp
1268This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1269.Sy reserv .
1270.It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1271Controls what is cached in the secondary cache
1272.Pq L2ARC .
1273If this property is set to
1274.Sy all ,
1275then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1276.Sy none ,
1277then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1278.Sy metadata ,
1279then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1280.Sy all .
1281.It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1282Controls whether the setuid bit is respected for the file system. The default
1283value is
1284.Sy on .
1285.It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1286Controls whether the file system is shared via SMB, and what options are to be
1287used. A file system with the
1288.Sy sharesmb
1289property set to
1290.Sy off
1291is managed through traditional tools such as
1292.Xr sharemgr 1M .
1293Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1294.Nm zfs Cm share
1295and
1296.Nm zfs Cm unshare
1297commands. If the property is set to
1298.Sy on ,
1299the
1300.Xr sharemgr 1M
1301command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the
1302.Xr sharemgr 1M
1303command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1304.Pp
1305Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is
1306constructed from the dataset name. The constructed name is a copy of the dataset
1307name except that the characters in the dataset name, which would be illegal in
1308the resource name, are replaced with underscore
1309.Pq Sy _
1310characters. A pseudo property
1311.Qq name
1312is also supported that allows you to replace the data set name with a specified
1313name. The specified name is then used to replace the prefix dataset in the case
1314of inheritance. For example, if the dataset
1315.Em data/home/john
1316is set to
1317.Sy name Ns = Ns Sy john ,
1318then
1319.Em data/home/john
1320has a resource name of
1321.Sy john .
1322If a child dataset
1323.Em data/home/john/backups
1324is shared, it has a resource name of
1325.Sy john_backups .
1326.Pp
1327When SMB shares are created, the SMB share name appears as an entry in the
1328.Pa .zfs/shares
1329directory. You can use the
1330.Nm ls
1331or
1332.Nm chmod
1333command to display the share-level ACLs on the entries in this directory.
1334.Pp
1335When the
1336.Sy sharesmb
1337property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1338property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1339set to
1340.Sy off ,
1341or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is
1342set to
1343.Sy off ,
1344the file systems are unshared.
1345.It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1346Controls whether the file system is shared via NFS, and what options are to be
1347used. A file system with a
1348.Sy sharenfs
1349property of
1350.Sy off
1351is managed through traditional tools such as
1352.Xr share 1M ,
1353.Xr unshare 1M ,
1354and
1355.Xr dfstab 4 .
1356Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1357.Nm zfs Cm share
1358and
1359.Nm zfs Cm unshare
1360commands. If the property is set to
1361.Sy on ,
1362.Xr share 1M
1363command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the
1364.Xr share 1M
1365command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1366.Pp
1367When the
1368.Sy sharenfs
1369property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1370property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1371.Sy off ,
1372or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is
1373.Sy off ,
1374the file systems are unshared.
1375.It Sy logbias Ns = Ns Sy latency Ns | Ns Sy throughput
1376Provide a hint to ZFS about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset. If
1377.Sy logbias
1378is set to
1379.Sy latency
1380.Pq the default ,
1381ZFS will use pool log devices
1382.Pq if configured
1383to handle the requests at low latency. If
1384.Sy logbias
1385is set to
1386.Sy throughput ,
1387ZFS will not use configured pool log devices. ZFS will instead optimize
1388synchronous operations for global pool throughput and efficient use of
1389resources.
1390.It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Sy hidden Ns | Ns Sy visible
1391Controls whether the
1392.Pa .zfs
1393directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1394the
1395.Sx Snapshots
1396section. The default value is
1397.Sy hidden .
1398.It Sy sync Ns = Ns Sy standard Ns | Ns Sy always Ns | Ns Sy disabled
1399Controls the behavior of synchronous requests
1400.Pq e.g. fsync, O_DSYNC .
1401.Sy standard
1402is the
1403.Tn POSIX
1404specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are written to stable
1405storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not cached by device
1406controllers
1407.Pq this is the default .
1408.Sy always
1409causes every file system transaction to be written and flushed before its
1410system call returns. This has a large performance penalty.
1411.Sy disabled
1412disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
1413stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
1414However, it is very dangerous as ZFS would be ignoring the synchronous
1415transaction demands of applications such as databases or NFS. Administrators
1416should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1417.It Sy version Ns = Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy current
1418The on-disk version of this file system, which is independent of the pool
1419version. This property can only be set to later supported versions. See the
1420.Nm zfs Cm upgrade
1421command.
1422.It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Em size
1423For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
1424volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a version
1425number of 9 or higher, a
1426.Sy refreservation
1427is set instead. Any changes to
1428.Sy volsize
1429are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation
1430.Po or
1431.Sy refreservation
1432.Pc .
1433The
1434.Sy volsize
1435can only be set to a multiple of
1436.Sy volblocksize ,
1437and cannot be zero.
1438.Pp
1439The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent unexpected
1440behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could run out of
1441space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending on how the
1442volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is changed
1443while it is in use
1444.Pq particularly when shrinking the size .
1445Extreme care should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1446.Pp
1447Though not recommended, a
1448.Qq sparse volume
1449.Po also known as
1450.Qq thin provisioning
1451.Pc
1452can be created by specifying the
1453.Fl s
1454option to the
1455.Nm zfs Cm create Fl V
1456command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
1457.Qq sparse volume
1458is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size. Consequently,
1459writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1460.Er ENOSPC
1461when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
1462.Sy volsize
1463are not reflected in the reservation.
1464.It Sy vscan Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1465Controls whether regular files should be scanned for viruses when a file is
1466opened and closed. In addition to enabling this property, the virus scan
1467service must also be enabled for virus scanning to occur. The default value is
1468.Sy off .
1469.It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1470Controls whether extended attributes are enabled for this file system. The
1471default value is
1472.Sy on .
1473.It Sy zoned Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1474Controls whether the dataset is managed from a non-global zone. See the
1475.Sx Zones
1476section for more information. The default value is
1477.Sy off .
1478.El
1479.Pp
1480The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1481created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
1482properties are not set with the
1483.Nm zfs Cm create
1484or
1485.Nm zpool Cm create
1486commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
1487dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
1488features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
1489these properties.
1490.Bl -tag -width ""
1491.It Xo
1492.Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Sy sensitive Ns | Ns
1493.Sy insensitive Ns | Ns Sy mixed
1494.Xc
1495Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system
1496should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both
1497styles of matching. The default value for the
1498.Sy casesensitivity
1499property is
1500.Sy sensitive .
1501Traditionally,
1502.Ux
1503and
1504.Tn POSIX
1505file systems have case-sensitive file names.
1506.Pp
1507The
1508.Sy mixed
1509value for the
1510.Sy casesensitivity
1511property indicates that the file system can support requests for both
1512case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching behavior. Currently,
1513case-insensitive matching behavior on a file system that supports mixed behavior
1514is limited to the SMB server product. For more information about the
1515.Sy mixed
1516value behavior, see the "ZFS Administration Guide".
1517.It Xo
1518.Sy normalization Ns = Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy formC Ns | Ns
1519.Sy formD Ns | Ns Sy formKC Ns | Ns Sy formKD
1520.Xc
1521Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1522.Sy unicode
1523normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1524normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored unmodified,
1525names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this property is set
1526to a legal value other than
1527.Sy none ,
1528and the
1529.Sy utf8only
1530property was left unspecified, the
1531.Sy utf8only
1532property is automatically set to
1533.Sy on .
1534The default value of the
1535.Sy normalization
1536property is
1537.Sy none .
1538This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1539.It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1540Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1541characters that are not present in the
1542.Sy UTF-8
1543character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
1544.Sy off ,
1545the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
1546.Sy none .
1547The default value for the
1548.Sy utf8only
1549property is
1550.Sy off .
1551This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1552.El
1553.Pp
1554The
1555.Sy casesensitivity ,
1556.Sy normalization ,
1557and
1558.Sy utf8only
1559properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged users
1560by using the ZFS delegated administration feature.
1561.Ss "Temporary Mount Point Properties"
1562When a file system is mounted, either through
1563.Xr mount 1M
1564for legacy mounts or the
1565.Nm zfs Cm mount
1566command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1567properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1568.Bd -literal
1569    PROPERTY                MOUNT OPTION
1570    devices                 devices/nodevices
1571    exec                    exec/noexec
1572    readonly                ro/rw
1573    setuid                  setuid/nosetuid
1574    xattr                   xattr/noxattr
1575.Ed
1576.Pp
1577In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1578.Fl o
1579option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
1580specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. The
1581.Sy nosuid
1582option is an alias for
1583.Sy nodevices Ns , Ns Sy nosetuid .
1584These properties are reported as
1585.Qq temporary
1586by the
1587.Nm zfs Cm get
1588command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
1589setting overrides any temporary settings.
1590.Ss "User Properties"
1591In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user
1592properties. User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or
1593administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1594.Pq file systems, volumes, and snapshots .
1595.Pp
1596User property names must contain a colon
1597.No Po Ns Sy \&:  Ns Pc
1598character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain lowercase
1599letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
1600.Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
1601dash
1602.Pq Qq Sy - ,
1603period
1604.Pq Qq Sy \&. ,
1605and underscore
1606.Pq Qq Sy _ .
1607The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1608such as
1609.Em module Ns : Ns Em property ,
1610but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS.
1611User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1612.Pq Qq Sy - .
1613.Pp
1614When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use
1615a reversed
1616.Sy DNS
1617domain name for the
1618.Em module
1619component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1620independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1621purposes.
1622.Pp
1623The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1624are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
1625.Po Nm zfs Cm list ,
1626.Nm zfs Cm get ,
1627.Nm zfs Cm set ,
1628and so forth
1629.Pc
1630can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
1631.Nm zfs Cm inherit
1632command to clear a user property . If the property is not defined in any parent
1633dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024
1634characters.
1635.Ss ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices
1636During an initial installation a swap device and dump device are created on ZFS
1637volumes in the ZFS root pool. By default, the swap area size is based on 1/2 the
1638size of physical memory up to 2 Gbytes. The size of the dump device depends on
1639the kernel's requirements at installation time. Separate ZFS volumes must be
1640used for the swap area and dump devices. Do not swap to a file on a ZFS file
1641system. A ZFS swap file configuration is not supported.
1642.Pp
1643If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is
1644installed or upgraded, use the
1645.Xr swap 1M
1646and
1647.Xr dumpadm 1M
1648commands.
1649.Sh SUBCOMMANDS
1650All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their
1651original form.
