.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
.Xr zpool 1M .
A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace. For example:
.Bd -literal
pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
.Ed
.Pp
where the maximum length of a dataset name is
.Dv MAXNAMELEN
.Pq 256 bytes .
.Pp
A dataset can be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width "file system"
.It Sy file system
A ZFS dataset of type
.Sy filesystem
can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
systems. While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX compliant, known issues
exist that prevent compliance in some cases. Applications that depend on
standards conformance might fail due to non-standard behavior when checking file
system free space.
.It Sy volume
A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
most environments.
.It Sy snapshot
A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
specified as
.Ar filesystem Ns @ Ns Ar name
or
.Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar name .
.El
.Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the ZFS file system hierarchy.
.Pp
The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
characteristics, however, are managed by the
.Xr zpool 1M
command.
.Pp
See
.Xr zpool 1M
for more information on creating and administering pools.
.Ss Snapshots
A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
.Pp
Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
.Pp
File system snapshots can be accessed under the
.Pa .zfs/snapshot
directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted on
demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
.Pa .zfs
directory can be controlled by the
snapdir
property.
.Ss Clones
A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly instantaneous,
and initially consumes no additional space.
.Pp
Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
.Sy origin
property exposes this dependency, and the
.Cm destroy
command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
.Pp
The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
.Cm promote
subcommand. This causes the
.Qq origin
file system to become a clone of the specified file system, which makes it
possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created from.
.Ss "Mount Points"
Creating a ZFS file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems
per system is likely to be numerous. To cope with this, ZFS automatically
manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to edit the
.Pa /etc/vfstab
file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by ZFS at boot time.
.Pp
By default, file systems are mounted under
.Pa /path ,
where
.Ar path
is the name of the file system in the ZFS namespace. Directories are created and
destroyed as needed.
.Pp
A file system can also have a mount point set in the
.Sy mountpoint
property. This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the
file system when the
.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
command is invoked
.Po without editing
.Pa /etc/vfstab
.Pc .
The
.Sy mountpoint
property can be inherited, so if
.Em pool/home
has a mount point of
.Pa /export/stuff ,
then
.Em pool/home/user
automatically inherits a mount point of
.Pa /export/stuff/user .
.Pp
A file system
.Sy mountpoint
property of
.Sy none
prevents the file system from being mounted.
.Pp
If needed, ZFS file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
.Po
.Nm mount ,
.Nm umount ,
.Pa /etc/vfstab
.Pc .
If a file system's mount point is set to
.Sy legacy ,
ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
.Ss "Zones"
A ZFS file system can be added to a non-global zone by using the
.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy fs
subcommand. A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its
.Sy mountpoint
property set to
.Sy legacy .
.Pp
The physical properties of an added file system are controlled by the global
administrator. However, the zone administrator can create, modify, or destroy
files within the added file system, depending on how the file system is mounted.
.Pp
A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using the
.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy dataset
subcommand. You cannot delegate a dataset to one zone and the children of the
same dataset to another zone. The zone administrator can change properties of
the dataset or any of its children. However, the
.Sy quota ,
.Sy filesystem_limit
and
.Sy snapshot_limit
properties of the delegated dataset can be modified only by the global
administrator.
.Pp
A ZFS volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using the
.Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy device
subcommand. However, its physical properties can be modified only by the global
administrator.
.Pp
For more information about
.Nm zonecfg
syntax, see
.Xr zonecfg 1M .
.Pp
After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the
.Sy zoned
property is automatically set. A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the
global zone, since the zone administrator might have to set the mount point to
an unacceptable value.
.Pp
The global administrator can forcibly clear the
.Sy zoned
property, though this should be done with extreme care. The global administrator
should verify that all the mount points are acceptable before clearing the
property.
.Ss Native Properties
Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined
.Po or
.Qq user
.Pc
properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS
behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment. For more information
about user properties, see the
.Sx User Properties
section, below.
.Pp
Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
datasets
.Pq file systems, volumes, or snapshots .
.Pp
The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
.Po for example,
.Sy k ,
.Sy KB ,
.Sy M ,
.Sy Gb ,
and so forth, up to
.Sy Z
for zettabyte
.Pc .
The following are all valid
.Pq and equal
specifications:
.Li 1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB .
.Pp
The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
except for
.Sy mountpoint ,
.Sy sharenfs ,
and
.Sy sharesmb .
.Pp
The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
.Bl -tag -width "usedbyrefreservation"
.It Sy available
The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming that
there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a pool,
availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical pool
size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy avail .
.It Sy compressratio
For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
.Sy used
space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
.Sy used
property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include the
space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
.Sy compressratio
is the same as the
.Sy refcompressratio
property. Compression can be turned on by running:
.Nm zfs Cm set Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ar dataset .
The default value is
.Sy off .
.It Sy creation
The time this dataset was created.
.It Sy clones
For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or volumes
which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
.Sy origin
property is this snapshot. If the
.Sy clones
property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed
.Po even with the
.Fl r
or
.Fl f
options
.Pc .
.It Sy defer_destroy
This property is
.Sy on
if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
command. Otherwise, the property is
.Sy off .
.It Sy filesystem_count
The total number of filesystems and volumes that exist under this location in
the dataset tree. This value is only available when a
.Sy filesystem_limit
has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
.It Sy logicalreferenced
The amount of space that is
.Qq logically
accessible by this dataset. See the
.Sy referenced
property. The logical space ignores the effect of the
.Sy compression
and
.Sy copies
properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
see. However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy lrefer .
.It Sy logicalused
The amount of space that is
.Qq logically
consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. See the
.Sy used
property. The logical space ignores the effect of the
.Sy compression
and
.Sy copies
properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
see. However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy lused .
.It Sy mounted
For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
property can be either
.Sy yes
or
.Sy no .
.It Sy origin
For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
created. See also the
.Sy clones
property.
.It Sy receive_resume_token
For filesystems or volumes which have saved partially-completed state from
.Sy zfs receive -s ,
this opaque token can be provided to
.Sy zfs send -t
to resume and complete the
.Sy zfs receive .
.It Sy referenced
The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
was created from, since its contents are identical.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy refer .
.It Sy refcompressratio
The compression ratio achieved for the
.Sy referenced
space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
.Sy compressratio
property.
.It Sy snapshot_count
The total number of snapshots that exist under this location in the dataset
tree. This value is only available when a
.Sy snapshot_limit
has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
.It Sy type
The type of dataset:
.Sy filesystem ,
.Sy volume ,
or
.Sy snapshot .
.It Sy used
The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that is freed
if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
its reservation.
.Pp
The used space of a snapshot
.Po see the
.Sx Snapshots
section
.Pc
is space that is referenced exclusively by this snapshot. If this snapshot is
destroyed, the amount of
.Sy used
space will be freed. Space that is shared by multiple snapshots isn't accounted
for in this metric. When a snapshot is destroyed, space that was previously
shared with this snapshot can become unique to snapshots adjacent to it, thus
changing the used space of those snapshots. The used space of the latest
snapshot can also be affected by changes in the file system. Note that the
.Sy used
space of a snapshot is a subset of the
.Sy written
space of the snapshot.
.Pp
The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
.Xr fsync 3C
or
.Dv O_SYNC
does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
immediately.
.It Sy usedby*
The
.Sy usedby*
properties decompose the
.Sy used
properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
.Sy used No =
.Sy usedbychildren No +
.Sy usedbydataset No +
.Sy usedbyrefreservation No +
.Sy usedbysnapshots .
These properties are only available for datasets created on
.Nm zpool
.Qo version 13 Qc
pools.
.It Sy usedbychildren
The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
all the dataset's children were destroyed.
.It Sy usedbydataset
The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
dataset were destroyed
.Po after first removing any
.Sy refreservation
and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents
.Pc .
.It Sy usedbyrefreservation
The amount of space used by a
.Sy refreservation
set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
.Sy refreservation
was removed.
.It Sy usedbysnapshots
The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
.Sy used
properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
.It Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em user
The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
.Nm ls Fl l .
The amount of space charged is displayed by
.Nm du
and
.Nm ls Fl s .
See the
.Nm zfs Cm userspace
subcommand for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can access only their own space usage. The root user, or a
user who has been granted the
.Sy userused
privilege with
.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
can access everyone's usage.
.Pp
The
.Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em ...
properties are not displayed by
.Nm zfs Cm get Sy all .
The user's name must be appended after the @ symbol, using one of the following
forms:
.Bl -bullet -width ""
.It
.Em POSIX name
.Po for example,
.Sy joe
.Pc
.It
.Em POSIX numeric ID
.Po for example,
.Sy 789
.Pc
.It
.Em SID name
.Po for example,
.Sy joe.smith@mydomain
.Pc
.It
.Em SID numeric ID
.Po for example,
.Sy S-1-123-456-789
.Pc
.El
.It Sy userrefs
This property is set to the number of user holds on this snapshot. User holds
are set by using the
.Nm zfs Cm hold
command.
.It Sy groupused Ns @ Ns Em group
The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
.Nm ls Fl l .
See the
.Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em user
property for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root user,
or a user who has been granted the
.Sy groupused
privilege with
.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
can access all groups' usage.
.It Sy volblocksize
For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
.Sy blocksize
cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
volume creation time. The default
.Sy blocksize
for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy volblock .
.It Sy written
The amount of space
.Sy referenced
by this dataset, that was written since the previous snapshot
.Pq i.e. that is not referenced by the previous snapshot .
.It Sy written Ns @ Ns Em snapshot
The amount of
.Sy referenced
space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot. This is the space
that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified
snapshot.
.Pp
The
.Em snapshot
may be specified as a short snapshot name
.Po just the part after the
.Sy @
.Pc ,
in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
this dataset. The
.Em snapshot
may be a full snapshot name
.Po Em filesystem Ns @ Ns Em snapshot Pc ,
which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem
.Pq or the origin of the origin's filesystem, etc.
.El
.Pp
The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a ZFS
dataset.
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Sy aclinherit Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy noallow Ns | Ns
.Sy restricted Ns | Ns Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy passthrough-x
.Xc
Controls how ACEs are inherited when files and directories are created.
.Bl -tag -width "passthrough-x"
.It Sy discard
does not inherit any ACEs.
.It Sy noallow
only inherits inheritable ACEs that specify
.Qq deny
permissions.
.It Sy restricted
default, removes the
.Sy write_acl
and
.Sy write_owner
permissions when the ACE is inherited.
.It Sy passthrough
inherits all inheritable ACEs without any modifications.
.It Sy passthrough-x
same meaning as
.Sy passthrough ,
except that the
.Sy owner@ ,
.Sy group@ ,
and
.Sy everyone@
ACEs inherit the execute permission only if the file creation mode also requests
the execute bit.
.El
.Pp
When the property value is set to
.Sy passthrough ,
files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable ACEs.
If no inheritable ACEs exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in
accordance to the requested mode from the application.
.It Xo
.Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy groupmask Ns | Ns
.Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy restricted
.Xc
Controls how an ACL is modified during
.Xr chmod 2
and how inherited ACEs are modified by the file creation mode.
.Bl -tag -width "passthrough"
.It Sy discard
default, deletes all ACEs except for those representing the mode of the file or
directory requested by
.Xr chmod 2 .
.It Sy groupmask
reduces permissions granted by all
.Sy ALLOW
entries found in the ACL such that they are no greater than the group
permissions specified by the mode.
.It Sy passthrough
indicates that no changes are made to the ACL other than creating or updating
the necessary ACEs to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
.It Sy restricted
causes the
.Xr chmod 2
operation to return an error when used on any file or directory which has a
non-trivial ACL, with entries in addition to those that represent the mode.
.El
.Pp
.Xr chmod 2
is required to change the set user ID, set group ID, or sticky bit on a file or
directory, as they do not have equivalent ACEs. In order to use
.Xr chmod 2
on a file or directory with a non-trivial ACL when
.Sy aclmode
is set to
.Sy restricted ,
you must first remove all ACEs except for those that represent the current mode.
.It Sy atime Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
and other similar utilities. The default value is
.Sy on .
.It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy noauto
If this property is set to
.Sy off ,
the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a .
Setting this property to
.Sy off
is similar to setting the
.Sy mountpoint
property to
.Sy none ,
except that the dataset still has a normal
.Sy mountpoint
property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
.Sy off
allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
example of setting
.Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy off
is to have two datasets with the same
.Sy mountpoint ,
so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
have different inherited characteristics.
.Pp
When set to
.Sy noauto ,
a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The dataset is not
mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported, nor is it mounted
by the
.Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
command or unmounted by the
.Nm zfs Cm unmount Fl a
command.
.Pp
This property is not inherited.
.It Xo
.Sy checksum Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy fletcher2 Ns | Ns
.Sy fletcher4 Ns | Ns Sy sha256 Ns | Ns Sy noparity Ns | Ns
.Sy sha512 Ns | Ns Sy skein Ns | Ns Sy edonr
.Xc
Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
.Sy on ,
which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm
.Po currently,
.Sy fletcher4 ,
but this may change in future releases
.Pc .
The value
.Sy off
disables integrity checking on user data. The value
.Sy noparity
not only disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data.
This setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and
should not be used by any other dataset. Disabling checksums is
.Sy NOT
a recommended practice.
.Pp
The
.Sy sha512 ,
.Sy skein ,
and
.Sy edonr
checksum algorithms require enabling the appropriate features on the
pool. Please see
.Xr zpool-features 5
for more information on these algorithms.
.Pp
Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
.It Xo
.Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy gzip Ns | Ns
.Sy gzip- Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy lz4 Ns | Ns Sy lzjb Ns | Ns Sy zle
.Xc
Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset.
.Pp
Setting compression to
.Sy on
indicates that the current default compression algorithm should be used. The
default balances compression and decompression speed, with compression ratio and
is expected to work well on a wide variety of workloads.  Unlike all other
settings for this property,
.Sy on
does not select a fixed compression type. As new compression algorithms are
added to ZFS and enabled on a pool, the default compression algorithm may
change. The current default compression algorithm is either
.Sy lzjb
or, if the
.Sy lz4_compress
feature is enabled,
.Sy lz4 .
.Pp
The
.Sy lz4
compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement for the
.Sy lzjb
algorithm. It features significantly faster compression and decompression, as
well as a moderately higher compression ratio than
.Sy lzjb ,
but can only be used on pools with the
.Sy lz4_compress
feature set to
.Sy enabled .
See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
.Sy lz4_compress
feature.
.Pp
The
.Sy lzjb
compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
compression.
.Pp
The
.Sy gzip
compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
.Xr gzip 1
command. You can specify the
.Sy gzip
level by using the value
.Sy gzip- Ns Em N ,
where
.Em N
is an integer from 1
.Pq fastest
to 9
.Pq best compression ratio .
Currently,
.Sy gzip
is equivalent to
.Sy gzip-6
.Po which is also the default for
.Xr gzip 1
.Pc .
.Pp
The
.Sy zle
compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
\fBcompress\fR. Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
.It Sy copies Ns = Ns Sy 1 Ns | Ns Sy 2 Ns | Ns Sy 3
Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
.Sy used
property and counting against quotas and reservations.
.Pp
Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
property at file system creation time by using the
.Fl o Sy copies Ns = Ns Ar N
option.
.It Sy devices Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether device nodes can be opened on this file system. The default
value is
.Sy on .
.It Sy exec Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
default value is
.Sy on .
.It Sy filesystem_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the number of filesystems and volumes that can exist under this point in
the dataset tree. The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change
the limit. Setting a
.Sy filesystem_limit
to
.Sy on
a descendent of a filesystem that already has a
.Sy filesystem_limit
does not override the ancestor's
.Sy filesystem_limit ,
but rather imposes an additional limit. This feature must be enabled to be used
.Po see
.Xr zpool-features 5
.Pc .
.It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Pa path Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy legacy
Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
.Sx Mount Points
section for more information on how this property is used.
.Pp
When the
.Sy mountpoint
property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
.Sy legacy ,
then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
new location if the property was previously
.Sy legacy
or
.Sy none ,
or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any shared
file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
.It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether the file system should be mounted with
.Sy nbmand
.Pq Non Blocking mandatory locks .
This is used for SMB clients. Changes to this property only take effect when the
file system is umounted and remounted. See
.Xr mount 1M
for more information on
.Sy nbmand
mounts.
.It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
Controls what is cached in the primary cache
.Pq ARC .
If this property is set to
.Sy all ,
then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Sy none ,
then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Sy metadata ,
then only metadata is cached. The default value is
.Sy all .
.It Sy quota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
.Pp
Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
.Sy volsize
property acts as an implicit quota.
.It Sy snapshot_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the number of snapshots that can be created on a dataset and its
descendents. Setting a
.Sy snapshot_limit
on a descendent of a dataset that already has a
.Sy snapshot_limit
does not override the ancestor's
.Sy snapshot_limit ,
but rather imposes an additional limit. The limit is not enforced if the user is
allowed to change the limit. For example, this means that recursive snapshots
taken from the global zone are counted against each delegated dataset within
a zone. This feature must be enabled to be used
.Po see
.Xr zpool-features 5
.Pc .
.It Sy userquota@ Ns Em user Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user. User space
consumption is identified by the
.Sy userspace@ Ns Em user
property.
.Pp
Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
.Er EDQUOT
error message. See the
.Nm zfs Cm userspace
subcommand for more information.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
user, or a user who has been granted the
.Sy userquota
privilege with
.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
can get and set everyone's quota.
.Pp
This property is not available on volumes, on file systems before version 4, or
on pools before version 15. The
.Sy userquota@ Ns Em ...
properties are not displayed by
.Nm zfs Cm get Sy all .
The user's name must be appended after the
.Sy @
symbol, using one of the following forms:
.Bl -bullet
.It
.Em POSIX name
.Po for example,
.Sy joe
.Pc
.It
.Em POSIX numeric ID
.Po for example,
.Sy 789
.Pc
.It
.Em SID name
.Po for example,
.Sy joe.smith@mydomain
.Pc
.It
.Em SID numeric ID
.Po for example,
.Sy S-1-123-456-789
.Pc
.El
.It Sy groupquota@ Ns Em group Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified group. Group space
consumption is identified by the
.Sy groupused@ Ns Em group
property.
.Pp
Unprivileged users can access only their own groups' space usage. The root
user, or a user who has been granted the
.Sy groupquota
privilege with
.Nm zfs Cm allow ,
can get and set all groups' quotas.
.It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
.Sy off .
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy rdonly .
.It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Em size
Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
records. ZFS automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms
optimized for typical access patterns.
.Pp
For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
.Sy recordsize
greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
.Pp
The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
than or equal to 128 Kbytes. If the
.Sy large_blocks
feature is enabled on the pool, the size may be up to 1 Mbyte. See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details on ZFS feature flags.
.Pp
Changing the file system's
.Sy recordsize
affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy recsize .
.It Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy most
Controls what types of metadata are stored redundantly. ZFS stores an extra copy
of metadata, so that if a single block is corrupted, the amount of user data
lost is limited. This extra copy is in addition to any redundancy provided at
the pool level
.Pq e.g. by mirroring or RAID-Z ,
and is in addition to an extra copy specified by the
.Sy copies
property
.Pq up to a total of 3 copies .
For example if the pool is mirrored,
.Sy copies Ns = Ns 2 ,
and
.Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy most ,
then ZFS stores 6 copies of most metadata, and 4 copies of data and some
metadata.
.Pp
When set to
.Sy all ,
ZFS stores an extra copy of all metadata. If a single on-disk block is corrupt,
at worst a single block of user data
.Po which is
.Sy recordsize
bytes long
.Pc
can be lost.
.Pp
When set to
.Sy most ,
ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of metadata. This can improve performance
of random writes, because less metadata must be written. In practice, at worst
about 100 blocks
.Po of
.Sy recordsize
bytes each
.Pc
of user data can be lost if a single on-disk block is corrupt. The exact
behavior of which metadata blocks are stored redundantly may change in future
releases.
.Pp
The default value is
.Sy all .
.It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
.It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
.Sy refreservation .
The
.Sy refreservation
reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
.Pp
If
.Sy refreservation
is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside of
this reservation to accommodate the current number of
.Qq referenced
bytes in the dataset.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy refreserv .
.It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
.Pp
This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
.Sy reserv .
.It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
Controls what is cached in the secondary cache
.Pq L2ARC .
If this property is set to
.Sy all ,
then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Sy none ,
then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
.Sy metadata ,
then only metadata is cached. The default value is
.Sy all .
.It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether the setuid bit is respected for the file system. The default
value is
.Sy on .
.It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
Controls whether the file system is shared via SMB, and what options are to be
used. A file system with the
.Sy sharesmb
property set to
.Sy off
is managed through traditional tools such as
.Xr sharemgr 1M .
Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
.Nm zfs Cm share
and
.Nm zfs Cm unshare
commands. If the property is set to
.Sy on ,
the
.Xr sharemgr 1M
command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the
.Xr sharemgr 1M
command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
.Pp
Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is
constructed from the dataset name. The constructed name is a copy of the dataset
name except that the characters in the dataset name, which would be illegal in
the resource name, are replaced with underscore
.Pq Sy _
characters. A pseudo property
.Qq name
is also supported that allows you to replace the data set name with a specified
name. The specified name is then used to replace the prefix dataset in the case
of inheritance. For example, if the dataset
.Em data/home/john
is set to
.Sy name Ns = Ns Sy john ,
then
.Em data/home/john
has a resource name of
.Sy john .
If a child dataset
.Em data/home/john/backups
is shared, it has a resource name of
.Sy john_backups .
.Pp
When SMB shares are created, the SMB share name appears as an entry in the
.Pa .zfs/shares
directory. You can use the
.Nm ls
or
.Nm chmod
command to display the share-level ACLs on the entries in this directory.
.Pp
When the
.Sy sharesmb
property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
set to
.Sy off ,
or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is
set to
.Sy off ,
the file systems are unshared.
.It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
Controls whether the file system is shared via NFS, and what options are to be
used. A file system with a
.Sy sharenfs
property of
.Sy off
is managed through traditional tools such as
.Xr share 1M ,
.Xr unshare 1M ,
and
.Xr dfstab 4 .
Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
.Nm zfs Cm share
and
.Nm zfs Cm unshare
commands. If the property is set to
.Sy on ,
.Xr share 1M
command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the
.Xr share 1M
command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
.Pp
When the
.Sy sharenfs
property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
.Sy off ,
or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is
.Sy off ,
the file systems are unshared.
.It Sy logbias Ns = Ns Sy latency Ns | Ns Sy throughput
Provide a hint to ZFS about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset. If
.Sy logbias
is set to
.Sy latency
.Pq the default ,
ZFS will use pool log devices
.Pq if configured
to handle the requests at low latency. If
.Sy logbias
is set to
.Sy throughput ,
ZFS will not use configured pool log devices. ZFS will instead optimize
synchronous operations for global pool throughput and efficient use of
resources.
.It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Sy hidden Ns | Ns Sy visible
Controls whether the
.Pa .zfs
directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
the
.Sx Snapshots
section. The default value is
.Sy hidden .
.It Sy sync Ns = Ns Sy standard Ns | Ns Sy always Ns | Ns Sy disabled
Controls the behavior of synchronous requests
.Pq e.g. fsync, O_DSYNC .
.Sy standard
is the
.Tn POSIX
specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are written to stable
storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not cached by device
controllers
.Pq this is the default .
.Sy always
causes every file system transaction to be written and flushed before its
system call returns. This has a large performance penalty.
.Sy disabled
disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
However, it is very dangerous as ZFS would be ignoring the synchronous
transaction demands of applications such as databases or NFS. Administrators
should only use this option when the risks are understood.
.It Sy version Ns = Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy current
The on-disk version of this file system, which is independent of the pool
version. This property can only be set to later supported versions. See the
.Nm zfs Cm upgrade
command.
.It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Em size
For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a version
number of 9 or higher, a
.Sy refreservation
is set instead. Any changes to
.Sy volsize
are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation
.Po or
.Sy refreservation
.Pc .
The
.Sy volsize
can only be set to a multiple of
.Sy volblocksize ,
and cannot be zero.
.Pp
The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent unexpected
behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could run out of
space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending on how the
volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is changed
while it is in use
.Pq particularly when shrinking the size .
Extreme care should be used when adjusting the volume size.
.Pp
Though not recommended, a
.Qq sparse volume
.Po also known as
.Qq thin provisioning
.Pc
can be created by specifying the
.Fl s
option to the
.Nm zfs Cm create Fl V
command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
.Qq sparse volume
is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size. Consequently,
writes to a sparse volume can fail with
.Er ENOSPC
when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
.Sy volsize
are not reflected in the reservation.
.It Sy vscan Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether regular files should be scanned for viruses when a file is
opened and closed. In addition to enabling this property, the virus scan
service must also be enabled for virus scanning to occur. The default value is
.Sy off .
.It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether extended attributes are enabled for this file system. The
default value is
.Sy on .
.It Sy zoned Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Controls whether the dataset is managed from a non-global zone. See the
.Sx Zones
section for more information. The default value is
.Sy off .
.El
.Pp
The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
properties are not set with the
.Nm zfs Cm create
or
.Nm zpool Cm create
commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
these properties.
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Sy sensitive Ns | Ns
.Sy insensitive Ns | Ns Sy mixed
.Xc
Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system
should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both
styles of matching. The default value for the
.Sy casesensitivity
property is
.Sy sensitive .
Traditionally,
.Ux
and
.Tn POSIX
file systems have case-sensitive file names.
.Pp
The
.Sy mixed
value for the
.Sy casesensitivity
property indicates that the file system can support requests for both
case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching behavior. Currently,
case-insensitive matching behavior on a file system that supports mixed behavior
is limited to the SMB server product. For more information about the
.Sy mixed
value behavior, see the "ZFS Administration Guide".
.It Xo
.Sy normalization Ns = Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy formC Ns | Ns
.Sy formD Ns | Ns Sy formKC Ns | Ns Sy formKD
.Xc
Indicates whether the file system should perform a
.Sy unicode
normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored unmodified,
names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this property is set
to a legal value other than
.Sy none ,
and the
.Sy utf8only
property was left unspecified, the
.Sy utf8only
property is automatically set to
.Sy on .
The default value of the
.Sy normalization
property is
.Sy none .
This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
.It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
characters that are not present in the
.Sy UTF-8
character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
.Sy off ,
the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
.Sy none .
The default value for the
.Sy utf8only
property is
.Sy off .
This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
.El
.Pp
The
.Sy casesensitivity ,
.Sy normalization ,
and
.Sy utf8only
properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged users
by using the ZFS delegated administration feature.
.Ss "Temporary Mount Point Properties"
When a file system is mounted, either through
.Xr mount 1M
for legacy mounts or the
.Nm zfs Cm mount
command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
.Bd -literal
    PROPERTY                MOUNT OPTION
    devices                 devices/nodevices
    exec                    exec/noexec
    readonly                ro/rw
    setuid                  setuid/nosetuid
    xattr                   xattr/noxattr
.Ed
.Pp
In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
.Fl o
option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. The
.Sy nosuid
option is an alias for
.Sy nodevices Ns , Ns Sy nosetuid .
These properties are reported as
.Qq temporary
by the
.Nm zfs Cm get
command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
setting overrides any temporary settings.
.Ss "User Properties"
In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user
properties. User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or
administrators can use them to annotate datasets
.Pq file systems, volumes, and snapshots .
.Pp
User property names must contain a colon
.Pq Qq Sy \&:
character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain lowercase
letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
.Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
dash
.Pq Qq Sy - ,
period
.Pq Qq Sy \&. ,
and underscore
.Pq Qq Sy _ .
The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
such as
.Em module Ns : Ns Em property ,
but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS.
User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
.Pq Qq Sy - .
.Pp
When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use
a reversed
.Sy DNS
domain name for the
.Em module
component of property names to reduce the chance that two
independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
purposes.
.Pp
The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
.Po Nm zfs Cm list ,
.Nm zfs Cm get ,
.Nm zfs Cm set ,
and so forth
.Pc
can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
.Nm zfs Cm inherit
command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 8192 bytes.
.Ss ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices
During an initial installation a swap device and dump device are created on ZFS
volumes in the ZFS root pool. By default, the swap area size is based on 1/2 the
size of physical memory up to 2 Gbytes. The size of the dump device depends on
the kernel's requirements at installation time. Separate ZFS volumes must be
used for the swap area and dump devices. Do not swap to a file on a ZFS file
system. A ZFS swap file configuration is not supported.
.Pp
If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is
installed or upgraded, use the
.Xr swap 1M
and
.Xr dumpadm 1M
commands.
.Sh SUBCOMMANDS
All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their
original form.

option would have destroyed it. Such immediate destruction would occur, for
example, if the snapshot had no clones and the user-initiated reference count
were zero.

If a snapshot does not qualify for immediate destruction, it is marked for
deferred deletion. In this state, it exists as a usable, visible snapshot until
both of the preconditions listed above are met, at which point it is destroyed.

.Ar snapshot
.Xc
Roll back the given dataset to a previous snapshot. When a dataset is rolled
back, all data that has changed since the snapshot is discarded, and the dataset
reverts to the state at the time of the snapshot. By default, the command
refuses to roll back to a snapshot other than the most recent one. In order to
do so, all intermediate snapshots and bookmarks must be destroyed by specifying
the
.Fl r
option.
.Pp
The
.Fl rR
options do not recursively destroy the child snapshots of a recursive snapshot.
Only direct snapshots of the specified filesystem are destroyed by either of
these options. To completely roll back a recursive snapshot, you must rollback
the individual child snapshots.
.Bl -tag -width "-R"

.Xc
Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its
.Qq origin
snapshot. This makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was
created from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so
that the origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
.Pp
The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the origin file
system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space
accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting
snapshot names of its own. The

Renames the given dataset. The new target can be located anywhere in the ZFS
hierarchy, with the exception of snapshots. Snapshots can only be renamed within
the parent file system or volume. When renaming a snapshot, the parent file
system of the snapshot does not need to be specified as part of the second
argument. Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they
are unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.

By default, a full stream is generated.
.Bl -tag -width "-D"
.It Fl D, -dedup
Generate a deduplicated stream. Blocks which would have been sent multiple times
in the send stream will only be sent once. The receiving system must also
support this feature to receive a deduplicated stream. This flag can be used
regardless of the dataset's
.Sy dedup
property, but performance will be much better if the filesystem uses a
dedup-capable checksum
.Po for example,

.Pc .
.It Fl I Ar snapshot
Generate a stream package that sends all intermediary snapshots from the first
snapshot to the second snapshot. For example,
.Fl I Em @a Em fs@d
is similar to
.Fl i Em @a Em fs@b Ns ; Fl i Em @b Em fs@c Ns ; Fl i Em @c Em fs@d .
The incremental source may be specified as with the

.It Fl L, -large-block
Generate a stream which may contain blocks larger than 128KB. This flag has no
effect if the
.Sy large_blocks
pool feature is disabled, or if the
.Sy recordsize
property of this filesystem has never been set above 128KB. The receiving system
must have the

feature.
.It Fl P, -parsable
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the stream package generated.
.It Fl R, -replicate
Generate a replication stream package, which will replicate the specified
file system, and all descendent file systems, up to the named snapshot. When
received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones are
preserved.
.Pp
If the
.Fl i
or
.Fl I
flags are used in conjunction with the
.Fl R
flag, an incremental replication stream is generated. The current values of
properties, and current snapshot and file system names are set when the stream
is received. If the
.Fl F
flag is specified when this stream is received, snapshots and file systems that
do not exist on the sending side are destroyed.
.It Fl e, -embed
Generate a more compact stream by using
.Sy WRITE_EMBEDDED
records for blocks which are stored more compactly on disk by the
.Sy embedded_data
pool feature. This flag has no effect if the
.Sy embedded_data
feature is disabled. The receiving system must have the
.Sy embedded_data
feature enabled. If the
.Sy lz4_compress
feature is active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have
that feature enabled as well. See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
.Sy embedded_data
feature.
.It Fl c, -compressed
Generate a more compact stream by using compressed WRITE records for blocks
which are compressed on disk and in memory (see the
.Sy compression No property for details).  If the Sy lz4_compress No feature
is active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have that
feature enabled as well. If the
.Sy large_blocks No feature is enabled on the sending system but the Fl L
option is not supplied in conjunction with
.Fl c, No then the data will be decompressed before sending so it can be split
into smaller block sizes.
.It Fl i Ar snapshot
Generate an incremental stream from the first
.Ar snapshot
.Pq the incremental source
to the second
.Ar snapshot
.Pq the incremental target .
The incremental source can be specified as the last component of the snapshot
name
.Po the
.Sy @
character and following
.Pc
and it is assumed to be from the same file system as the incremental target.
.Pp
If the destination is a clone, the source may be the origin snapshot, which must
be fully specified

.Em pool/fs@origin ,
not just
.Em @origin
.Pc .
.It Fl n, -dryrun
Do a dry-run
.Pq Qq No-op

flags to determine what data will be sent. In this case, the verbose output will
be written to standard output
.Po contrast with a non-dry-run, where the stream is written to standard output
and the verbose output goes to standard error
.Pc .
.It Fl p, -props
Include the dataset's properties in the stream. This flag is implicit when
.Fl R
is specified. The receiving system must also support this feature.
.It Fl v, -verbose
Print verbose information about the stream package generated. This information
includes a per-second report of how much data has been sent.

property of this filesystem has never been set above 128KB. The receiving system
must have the
.Sy large_blocks
pool feature enabled as well. See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
.Sy large_blocks
feature.
.It Fl c, -compressed
Generate a more compact stream by using compressed WRITE records for blocks
which are compressed on disk and in memory (see the
.Sy compression No property for details).  If the Sy lz4_compress No feature is
active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have that feature
enabled as well. If the
.Sy large_blocks No feature is enabled on the sending system but the Fl L
option is not supplied in conjunction with
.Fl c, No then the data will be decompressed before sending so it can be split
into smaller block sizes.
.It Fl e, -embed
Generate a more compact stream by using
.Sy WRITE_EMBEDDED
records for blocks which are stored more compactly on disk by the
.Sy embedded_data
pool feature. This flag has no effect if the
.Sy embedded_data
feature is disabled. The receiving system must have the
.Sy embedded_data
feature enabled. If the
.Sy lz4_compress
feature is active on the sending system, then the receiving system must have
that feature enabled as well. See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details on ZFS feature flags and the
.Sy embedded_data
feature.
.It Fl i Ar snapshot Ns | Ns Ar bookmark
Generate an incremental send stream. The incremental source must be an earlier
snapshot in the destination's history. It will commonly be an earlier snapshot
in the destination's file system, in which case it can be specified as the last
component of the name
.Po the
.Sy #
or
.Sy @
character and following
.Pc .
.Pp
If the incremental target is a clone, the incremental source can be the origin
snapshot, or an earlier snapshot in the origin's filesystem, or the origin's
origin, etc.
.El

.Ar receive_resume_token

Creates a send stream which resumes an interrupted receive.  The

or volume that was being received into.  See the documentation for
.Sy zfs receive -s
for more details.

.Op Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Ar snapshot
.Ar filesystem
.Xc
Creates a snapshot whose contents are as specified in the stream provided on
standard input. If a full stream is received, then a new file system is created
as well. Streams are created using the
.Nm zfs Cm send
subcommand, which by default creates a full stream.
.Nm zfs Cm recv
can be used as an alias for
.Nm zfs Cm receive.
.Pp
If an incremental stream is received, then the destination file system must
already exist, and its most recent snapshot must match the incremental stream's
source. For
.Sy zvols ,
the destination device link is destroyed and recreated, which means the
.Sy zvol
cannot be accessed during the
.Cm receive
operation.
.Pp
When a snapshot replication package stream that is generated by using the
.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R
command is received, any snapshots that do not exist on the sending location are
destroyed by using the
.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
command.
.Pp
The name of the snapshot
.Pq and file system, if a full stream is received
that this subcommand creates depends on the argument type and the use of the
.Fl d
or
.Fl e
options.
.Pp
If the argument is a snapshot name, the specified
.Ar snapshot
is created. If the argument is a file system or volume name, a snapshot with the
same name as the sent snapshot is created within the specified
.Ar filesystem
or
.Ar volume .
If neither of the
.Fl d
or
.Fl e
options are specified, the provided target snapshot name is used exactly as
provided.
.Pp
The
.Fl d
and
.Fl e
options cause the file system name of the target snapshot to be determined by
appending a portion of the sent snapshot's name to the specified target
.Ar filesystem .
If the
.Fl d
option is specified, all but the first element of the sent snapshot's file
system path
.Pq usually the pool name
is used and any required intermediate file systems within the specified one are
created. If the
.Fl e
option is specified, then only the last element of the sent snapshot's file
system name
.Pq i.e. the name of the source file system itself
is used as the target file system name.
.Bl -tag -width "-F"
.It Fl F
Force a rollback of the file system to the most recent snapshot before
performing the receive operation. If receiving an incremental replication stream
.Po for example, one generated by
.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R Op Fl i Ns | Ns Fl I
.Pc ,
destroy snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side.
.It Fl d
Discard the first element of the sent snapshot's file system name, using the
remaining elements to determine the name of the target file system for the new
snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
.It Fl e
Discard all but the last element of the sent snapshot's file system name, using
that element to determine the name of the target file system for the new
snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
.It Fl n
Do not actually receive the stream. This can be useful in conjunction with the
.Fl v
option to verify the name the receive operation would use.
.It Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Ar snapshot
Forces the stream to be received as a clone of the given snapshot.
If the stream is a full send stream, this will create the filesystem
described by the stream as a clone of the specified snapshot. Which
snapshot was specified will not affect the success or failure of the
receive, as long as the snapshot does exist.  If the stream is an
incremental send stream, all the normal verification will be performed.
.It Fl u
File system that is associated with the received stream is not mounted.
.It Fl v
Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the
receive operation.
.It Fl s
If the receive is interrupted, save the partially received state, rather
than deleting it.  Interruption may be due to premature termination of
the stream
.Po e.g. due to network failure or failure of the remote system
if the stream is being read over a network connection
.Pc ,
a checksum error in the stream, termination of the
.Nm zfs Cm receive
process, or unclean shutdown of the system.
.Pp
The receive can be resumed with a stream generated by
.Nm zfs Cm send Fl t Ar token ,
where the
.Ar token
is the value of the
.Sy receive_resume_token
property of the filesystem or volume which is received into.

To use this flag, the storage pool must have the
