-zfs reservation, quota, refreservation, and refquota properties; and space set aside by -.Sy spa_slop_shift -(see -.Xr zfs-module-parameters 5 -for more information). -.It Sy freeing -After a file system or snapshot is destroyed, the space it was using is -returned to the pool asynchronously. -.Sy freeing -is the amount of space remaining to be reclaimed. -Over time -.Sy freeing -will decrease while -.Sy free -increases. -.It Sy health -The current health of the pool. -Health can be one of -.Sy ONLINE , DEGRADED , FAULTED , OFFLINE, REMOVED , UNAVAIL . -.It Sy guid -A unique identifier for the pool. -.It Sy load_guid -A unique identifier for the pool. -Unlike the -.Sy guid -property, this identifier is generated every time we load the pool (i.e. does -not persist across imports/exports) and never changes while the pool is loaded -(even if a -.Sy reguid -operation takes place). -.It Sy size -Total size of the storage pool. -.It Sy unsupported@ Ns Em guid -Information about unsupported features that are enabled on the pool. -See -.Xr zpool-features 5 -for details. -.El -.Pp -The space usage properties report actual physical space available to the -storage pool. -The physical space can be different from the total amount of space that any -contained datasets can actually use. -The amount of space used in a raidz configuration depends on the characteristics -of the data being written. -In addition, ZFS reserves some space for internal accounting that the -.Xr zfs 8 -command takes into account, but the -.Nm -command does not. -For non-full pools of a reasonable size, these effects should be invisible. -For small pools, or pools that are close to being completely full, these -discrepancies may become more noticeable. -.Pp -The following property can be set at creation time and import time: -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.It Sy altroot -Alternate root directory. -If set, this directory is prepended to any mount points within the pool. -This can be used when examining an unknown pool where the mount points cannot be -trusted, or in an alternate boot environment, where the typical paths are not -valid. -.Sy altroot -is not a persistent property. -It is valid only while the system is up. -Setting -.Sy altroot -defaults to using -.Sy cachefile Ns = Ns Sy none , -though this may be overridden using an explicit setting. -.El -.Pp -The following property can be set only at import time: -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -If set to -.Sy on , -the pool will be imported in read-only mode. -This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, -.Sy rdonly . -.El -.Pp -The following properties can be set at creation time and import time, and later -changed with the -.Nm zpool Cm set -command: -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.It Sy ashift Ns = Ns Sy ashift -Pool sector size exponent, to the power of -.Sy 2 -(internally referred to as -.Sy ashift ) . -Values from 9 to 16, inclusive, are valid; also, the -value 0 (the default) means to auto-detect using the kernel's block -layer and a ZFS internal exception list. -I/O operations will be aligned to the specified size boundaries. -Additionally, the minimum (disk) -write size will be set to the specified size, so this represents a -space vs. performance trade-off. -For optimal performance, the pool sector size should be greater than -or equal to the sector size of the underlying disks. -The typical case for setting this property is when -performance is important and the underlying disks use 4KiB sectors but -report 512B sectors to the OS (for compatibility reasons); in that -case, set -.Sy ashift Ns = Ns Sy 12 -(which is -.Sy 1<<12 No = Sy 4096 ) . -When set, this property is -used as the default hint value in subsequent vdev operations (add, -attach and replace). -Changing this value will not modify any existing -vdev, not even on disk replacement; however it can be used, for -instance, to replace a dying 512B sectors disk with a newer 4KiB -sectors device: this will probably result in bad performance but at the -same time could prevent loss of data. -.It Sy autoexpand Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -Controls automatic pool expansion when the underlying LUN is grown. -If set to -.Sy on , -the pool will be resized according to the size of the expanded device. -If the device is part of a mirror or raidz then all devices within that -mirror/raidz group must be expanded before the new space is made available to -the pool. -The default behavior is -.Sy off . -This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, -.Sy expand . -.It Sy autoreplace Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -Controls automatic device replacement. -If set to -.Sy off , -device replacement must be initiated by the administrator by using the -.Nm zpool Cm replace -command. -If set to -.Sy on , -any new device, found in the same physical location as a device that previously -belonged to the pool, is automatically formatted and replaced. -The default behavior is -.Sy off . -This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, -.Sy replace . -Autoreplace can also be used with virtual disks (like device -mapper) provided that you use the /dev/disk/by-vdev paths setup by -vdev_id.conf. -See the -.Xr vdev_id 8 -manual page for more details. -Autoreplace and autoonline require the ZFS Event Daemon be configured and -running. -See the -.Xr zed 8 -manual page for more details. -.It Sy autotrim Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -When set to -.Sy on -space which has been recently freed, and is no longer allocated by the pool, -will be periodically trimmed. -This allows block device vdevs which support -BLKDISCARD, such as SSDs, or file vdevs on which the underlying file system -supports hole-punching, to reclaim unused blocks. -The default value for this property is -.Sy off . -.Pp -Automatic TRIM does not immediately reclaim blocks after a free. -Instead, it will optimistically delay allowing smaller ranges to be aggregated -into a few larger ones. -These can then be issued more efficiently to the storage. -TRIM on L2ARC devices is enabled by setting -.Sy l2arc_trim_ahead > 0 . -.Pp -Be aware that automatic trimming of recently freed data blocks can put -significant stress on the underlying storage devices. -This will vary depending of how well the specific device handles these commands. -For lower-end devices it is often possible to achieve most of the benefits -of automatic trimming by running an on-demand (manual) TRIM periodically -using the -.Nm zpool Cm trim -command. -.It Sy bootfs Ns = Ns Sy (unset) Ns | Ns Ar pool Ns Op / Ns Ar dataset -Identifies the default bootable dataset for the root pool. -This property is expected to be set mainly by the installation and upgrade programs. -Not all Linux distribution boot processes use the bootfs property. -.It Sy cachefile Ns = Ns Ar path Ns | Ns Sy none -Controls the location of where the pool configuration is cached. -Discovering all pools on system startup requires a cached copy of the -configuration data that is stored on the root file system. -All pools in this cache are automatically imported when the system boots. -Some environments, such as install and clustering, need to cache this -information in a different location so that pools are not automatically -imported. -Setting this property caches the pool configuration in a different location that -can later be imported with -.Nm zpool Cm import Fl c . -Setting it to the value -.Sy none -creates a temporary pool that is never cached, and the -.Qq -.Pq empty string -uses the default location. -.Pp -Multiple pools can share the same cache file. -Because the kernel destroys and recreates this file when pools are added and -removed, care should be taken when attempting to access this file. -When the last pool using a -.Sy cachefile -is exported or destroyed, the file will be empty. -.It Sy comment Ns = Ns Ar text -A text string consisting of printable ASCII characters that will be stored -such that it is available even if the pool becomes faulted. -An administrator can provide additional information about a pool using this -property. -.It Sy compatibility Ns = Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy legacy Ns | Ns Ar file Ns Oo , Ns Ar file Oc Ns … -Specifies that the pool maintain compatibility with specific feature sets. -When set to -.Sy off -(or unset) compatibility is disabled (all features may be enabled); when set to -.Sy legacy Ns -no features may be enabled. -When set to a comma-separated list of filenames -(each filename may either be an absolute path, or relative to -.Pa /etc/zfs/compatibility.d -or -.Pa /usr/share/zfs/compatibility.d ) -the lists of requested features are read from those files, separated by -whitespace and/or commas. -Only features present in all files may be enabled. -.Pp -See -.Xr zpool-features 5 , -.Xr zpool-create 8 -and -.Xr zpool-upgrade 8 -for more information on the operation of compatibility feature sets. -.It Sy dedupditto Ns = Ns Ar number -This property is deprecated and no longer has any effect. -.It Sy delegation Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -Controls whether a non-privileged user is granted access based on the dataset -permissions defined on the dataset. -See -.Xr zfs 8 -for more information on ZFS delegated administration. -.It Sy failmode Ns = Ns Sy wait Ns | Ns Sy continue Ns | Ns Sy panic -Controls the system behavior in the event of catastrophic pool failure. -This condition is typically a result of a loss of connectivity to the underlying -storage device(s) or a failure of all devices within the pool. -The behavior of such an event is determined as follows: -.Bl -tag -width "continue" -.It Sy wait -Blocks all I/O access until the device connectivity is recovered and the errors -are cleared. -This is the default behavior. -.It Sy continue -Returns -.Er EIO -to any new write I/O requests but allows reads to any of the remaining healthy -devices. -Any write requests that have yet to be committed to disk would be blocked. -.It Sy panic -Prints out a message to the console and generates a system crash dump. -.El -.It Sy feature@ Ns Ar feature_name Ns = Ns Sy enabled -The value of this property is the current state of -.Ar feature_name . -The only valid value when setting this property is -.Sy enabled -which moves -.Ar feature_name -to the enabled state. -See -.Xr zpool-features 5 -for details on feature states. -.It Sy listsnapshots Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -Controls whether information about snapshots associated with this pool is -output when -.Nm zfs Cm list -is run without the -.Fl t -option. -The default value is -.Sy off . -This property can also be referred to by its shortened name, -.Sy listsnaps . -.It Sy multihost Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off -Controls whether a pool activity check should be performed during -.Nm zpool Cm import . -When a pool is determined to be active it cannot be imported, even with the -.Fl f -option. -This property is intended to be used in failover configurations -where multiple hosts have access to a pool on shared storage. -.Pp -Multihost provides protection on import only. -It does not protect against an -individual device being used in multiple pools, regardless of the type of vdev. -See the discussion under -.Nm zpool Cm create . -.Pp -When this property is on, periodic writes to storage occur to show the pool is -in use. -See -.Sy zfs_multihost_interval -in the -.Xr zfs-module-parameters 5 -manual page. -In order to enable this property each host must set a unique hostid. -See -.Xr genhostid 1 -.Xr zgenhostid 8 -.Xr spl-module-parameters 5 -for additional details. -The default value is -.Sy off . -.It Sy version Ns = Ns Ar version -The current on-disk version of the pool. -This can be increased, but never decreased. -The preferred method of updating pools is with the -.Nm zpool Cm upgrade -command, though this property can be used when a specific version is needed for -backwards compatibility. -Once feature flags are enabled on a pool this property will no longer have a -value. -.El |
