The +tool was developed in tandem with the ZFS functionality and was +executed nightly as one of the many regression test against the daily +build. As features were added to ZFS, unit tests were also added to +\fBztest\fR. In addition, a separate test development team wrote and +executed more functional and stress tests. +.LP +By default \fBztest\fR runs for ten minutes and uses block files +(stored in /tmp) to create pools rather than using physical disks. +Block files afford \fBztest\fR its flexibility to play around with +zpool components without requiring large hardware configurations. +However, storing the block files in /tmp may not work for you if you +have a small tmp directory. +.LP +By default is non-verbose. This is why entering the command above will +result in \fBztest\fR quietly executing for 5 minutes. The -V option +can be used to increase the verbosity of the tool. Adding multiple -V +option is allowed and the more you add the more chatty \fBztest\fR +becomes. +.LP +After the \fBztest\fR run completes, you should notice many ztest.* +files lying around. Once the run completes you can safely remove these +files. Note that you shouldn't remove these files during a run. You +can re-use these files in your next \fBztest\fR run by using the -E +option. +.SH OPTIONS +.HP +.BI "\-?"
