45 .Nd configure ZFS datasets
59 command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
61 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace:
63 .D1 Ar pool Ns Oo Sy / Ns Ar component Oc Ns Sy / Ns Ar component
69 The maximum length of a dataset name is
70 .Sy ZFS_MAX_DATASET_NAME_LEN No - 1
71 ASCII characters (currently 255) satisfying

75 character, while bookmarks are allowed to contain a single
79 is used as separator between components.
80 The maximum amount of nesting allowed in a path is

88 A dataset can be one of the following:
89 .Bl -tag -offset Ds -width "file system"
91 Can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
93 While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX-compliant, known issues exist
94 that prevent compliance in some cases.
95 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to non-standard
96 behavior when checking file system free space.
98 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device.
99 This type of dataset should only be used when a block device is required.
100 File systems are typically used in most environments.
102 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time.

111 It can be used as the source of a send (but not for a receive).
113 .Ar filesystem Ns # Ns Ar name
115 .Ar volume Ns # Ns Ar name .
123 Properties are divided into two types: native properties and user-defined
126 Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS behavior.
127 In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only.
128 User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
129 datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment.
130 For more information about properties, see
