-.Sh NAME
-.Nm zpoolprops
-.Nd properties of ZFS storage pools
-.
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-Each pool has several properties associated with it.
-Some properties are read-only statistics while others are configurable and
-change the behavior of the pool.
-.Pp
-The following are read-only properties:
-.Bl -tag -width "unsupported@guid"
-.It Cm allocated
-Amount of storage used within the pool.
-See
-.Sy fragmentation
-and
-.Sy free
-for more information.
-.It Sy capacity
-Percentage of pool space used.
-This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
-.Sy cap .
-.It Sy expandsize
-Amount of uninitialized space within the pool or device that can be used to
-increase the total capacity of the pool.
-On whole-disk vdevs, this is the space beyond the end of the GPT –
-typically occurring when a LUN is dynamically expanded
-or a disk replaced with a larger one.
-On partition vdevs, this is the space appended to the partition after it was
-added to the pool – most likely by resizing it in-place.
-The space can be claimed for the pool by bringing it online with
-.Sy autoexpand=on
-or using
-.Nm zpool Cm online Fl e .
-.It Sy fragmentation
-The amount of fragmentation in the pool.
-As the amount of space
-.Sy allocated
-increases, it becomes more difficult to locate
-.Sy free
-space.
-This may result in lower write performance compared to pools with more
-unfragmented free space.
-.It Sy free
-The amount of free space available in the pool.
-By contrast, the
-.Xr zfs 8
-.Sy available
-property describes how much new data can be written to ZFS filesystems/volumes.
-The zpool
-.Sy free
-property is not generally useful for this purpose, and can be substantially more than the zfs
-.Sy available
-space.
-This discrepancy is due to several factors, including raidz parity;
-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.
