.SH NAME
zfs\-events \- Events created by the ZFS filesystem.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Description of the different events generated by the ZFS stack.
.sp
Most of these don't have any description. The events generated by ZFS
have never been publicly documented.  What is here is intended as a
starting point to provide documentation for all possible events.
.sp
To view all events created since the loading of the ZFS infrastructure
(i.e, "the module"), run
.P
.nf
\fBzpool events\fR
.fi
.P
to get a short list, and
.P
.nf
\fBzpool events -v\fR
.fi
.P
to get a full detail of the events and what information
is available about it.
.sp
This man page lists the different subclasses that are issued
in the case of an event. The full event name would be
\fIereport.fs.zfs.SUBCLASS\fR, but we only list the last
part here.

\fBbad_set_bits\fR
.ad

If this field exists, it is an array of: (bad data & ~(good data)); that is,
the bits set in the bad data which are cleared in the good data. Each element
corresponds a byte whose offset is in a range in \fBbad_ranges\fR, and the
array is ordered by offset. Thus, the first element is the first byte in the
first \fBbad_ranges\fR range, and the last element is the last byte in the last
\fBbad_ranges\fR range.

.ne 2
.na
\fBbad_cleared_bits\fR

.na
\fBbad_set_histogram\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
If this field exists, it is an array of counters. Each entry counts bits set
in a particular bit of a big-endian uint64 type. The first entry counts bits
set in the high-order bit of the first byte, the 9th byte, etc, and the last
entry counts bits set of the low-order bit of the 8th byte, the 16th byte, etc.
This information is useful for observing a stuck bit in a parallel data path,
such as IDE or parallel SCSI.

The ZFS I/O pipeline is comprised of various stages which are defined
