45 .Nd configure ZFS datasets
58 command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
60 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace:
62 .D1 Ar pool Ns Oo Sy / Ns Ar component Oc Ns Sy / Ns Ar component
68 The maximum length of a dataset name is
69 .Sy ZFS_MAX_DATASET_NAME_LEN No - 1
70 ASCII characters (currently 255) satisfying
72 Additionally snapshots are allowed to contain a single
74 character, while bookmarks are allowed to contain a single
78 is used as separator between components.
79 The maximum amount of nesting allowed in a path is
80 .Sy zfs_max_dataset_nesting
87 A dataset can be one of the following:
88 .Bl -tag -offset Ds -width "file system"
90 Can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
92 While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX-compliant, known issues exist
93 that prevent compliance in some cases.
94 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to non-standard
95 behavior when checking file system free space.
97 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device.
98 This type of dataset should only be used when a block device is required.
99 File systems are typically used in most environments.
101 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time.

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