.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command is used to setup and interact with ZFS boot environments, which are
bootable clones of datasets.
.Pp
A boot environment allows the system to be upgraded, while preserving the
pre-upgrade system environment.
.Pp
.Nm
itself accepts an
.Fl r
flag specified before the command to indicate the
.Ar beroot
that should be used as the boot environment root, or the dataset whose children
are all boot environments.
Normally this information is derived from the bootfs property of the pool that
is mounted at
.Pa / ,
but it is useful when the system has not been booted into a ZFS root or a
different pool should be operated on.
For instance, booting into the recovery media and manually importing a pool from
one of the system's resident disks will require the
.Fl r
flag to work.
.Pp
.Ss Supported Subcommands and Flags
.Bl -tag -width activate
.It Xo
.Fl h |
.Fl \&?
Print usage information.
.It Xo
.Cm activate
.Op Fl t | Fl T
.Ar beName
.Xc
Activate the given
.Ar beName
as the default boot filesystem.
If the
.Fl t
flag is given, this takes effect only for the next boot.
Flag
.Fl T
removes temporary boot once configuration.
Without temporary configuration, the next boot will use zfs dataset specified
in boot pool
.Ar bootfs
property.
.It Xo
.Cm check
.Xc
Performs a silent sanity check on the current system.
If boot environments are supported and used,
.Nm
will exit with a status code of 0.
Any other status code is not currently defined and may, in the future, grow
special meaning for different degrees of sanity check failures.
.It Xo
.Cm create
.Op Fl r
.Op Fl e Brq Ar nonActiveBe | Ar beName Ns Cm @ Ns Ar snapshot
.Ar newBeName
.Xc
Create a new boot environment named
.Ar newBeName .
.Pp
If the
.Fl r
flag is given, a recursive boot environment will be made.
See
.Sx Boot Environment Structures
for a discussion on different layouts.
.Pp
If the
.Fl e
flag is specified, the new environment will be cloned from the given
.Ar nonActiveBe
or
.Ar beName Ns Cm @ Ns Ar snapshot .
Otherwise, the new environment will be created from the currently booted
environment.
.Pp
If
.Nm
is creating from another boot environment, a snapshot of that boot environment
will be created to clone from.
.It Xo
.Cm create
.Op Fl r
.Ar beName@snapshot
.Xc
Create a snapshot of the boot environment named
.Ar beName .
.Pp
If the
.Fl r
flag is given, a recursive snapshot of the boot environment will be created.
A snapshot is created for each descendant dataset of the boot environment.
See
.Sx Boot Environment Structures
for a discussion on different layouts.
.Pp
No new boot environment is created with this subcommand.
.It Xo
.Cm destroy
.Op Fl \&Fo
.Ar beName Ns Op Cm @ Ns Ar snapshot
.Xc
Destroy the given
.Ar beName
boot environment or
.Ar beName Ns Cm @ Ns Ar snapshot
snapshot without confirmation, unlike in
.Xr beadm 1 .
Specifying
.Fl F
will automatically unmount without confirmation.
.Pp
By default,
.Nm
will warn that it is not destroying the origin of
.Ar beName .
The
.Fl o
flag may be specified to destroy the origin as well.
.It Cm export Ar sourceBe
Export
.Ar sourceBe
to
.Xr stdout 4 .
.Xr stdout 4
must be piped or redirected to a file.
.It Cm import Ar targetBe
Import
.Ar targetBe
from
.Xr stdin 4 .
.It Xo
.Cm jail
.Op Fl bU
.Oo Bro Fl o Ar key Ns Cm = Ns Ar value | Fl u Ar key Brc Oc Ns ...
.Ar beName
.Op Ar utility Op Ar argument ...
.Xc
Create a jail of the given boot environment.
Multiple
.Fl o
and
.Fl u
arguments may be specified.
.Fl o
will set a jail parameter, and
.Fl u
will unset a jail parameter.
.Pp
By default, jails are created in interactive mode and
.Pa /bin/sh
is
executed within the jail.
If
.Ar utility
is specified, it will be executed instead of
.Pa /bin/sh .
The jail will be destroyed and the boot environment unmounted when the command
finishes executing, unless the
.Fl U
argument is specified.
.Pp
The
.Fl b
argument enables batch mode, thereby disabling interactive mode.
The
.Fl U
argument will be ignored in batch mode.
.Pp
The
.Va name ,
.Va host.hostname ,
and
.Va path
must be set, the default values are specified below.
.Pp
All
.Ar key Ns Cm = Ns Ar value
pairs are interpreted as jail parameters as described in
.Xr jail 8 .
The following default parameters are provided:
.Bl -column "allow.mount.devfs" ""
.It Va allow.mount Ta Cm true
.It Va allow.mount.devfs Ta Cm true
.It Va enforce_statfs Ta Cm 1
.It Va name Ta Set to jail ID.
.It Va host.hostname Ta Va bootenv
.It Va path Ta Set to a path in Pa /tmp
generated by
.Xr libbe 3 .
.El
.Pp
All default parameters may be overwritten.
.It Xo
.Cm list
.Op Fl aDHs
.Oo Bro Fl c Ar property | Fl C Ar property Brc Oc
.Xc
.Pp
Display all boot environments.
The
.Em Active
field indicates whether the boot environment is active now
.Pq Em \&N ;
active on reboot
.Pq Em \&R ;
is used on next boot once
.Pq Em \&T ;
or combination of
.Pq Em \&NRT .
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl a
Display all datasets.
.It Fl D
Display the full space usage for each boot environment, assuming all
other boot environments were destroyed.
.It Fl H
Used for scripting.
Do not print headers and separate fields by a single tab instead of
arbitrary white space.
.It Fl s
Display all snapshots as well.
.It Fl c Ar property
Sort boot environments by the given ZFS dataset property.
The following properties are supported:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width 4n -offset indent -compact
.It name (the default)
.It creation
.It origin
.It used
.It usedbydataset
.It usedbyrefreservation
.It usedbysnapshots
.El
.Pp
Short forms usedds, usedrefreserv and usedsnap are also supported.
.It Fl C Ar property
Same as the
.Fl c
option, but displays in descending order.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fl D
option is ignored when either the
.Fl s
or
.Fl a
option is used.
.It Cm mount Ar beName Op Ar mountpoint
Mount the given boot environment.
.Pp
If a nonexistent
.Ar mountpoint
is given:
.Nm
will make the directory, including intermediate directories as required.
.Pp
If no
.Ar mountpoint
is given:
.Nm
will make a directory such as
.Pa be_mount.c6Sf
in
.Pa /tmp .
Randomness in the last four characters of the directory name will prevent
mount point conflicts.
Unmount of an environment, followed by mount of the same environment
without giving a
.Ar mountpoint ,
will result in a different randomly-named mountpoint.
.It Cm rename Ar origBeName newBeName
Rename the given
.Ar origBeName
to the given
.Ar newBeName .
The boot environment will not be unmounted in order for this rename to occur.
.It Cm ujail Brq Ar jailId | jailName | beName
.It Cm unjail Brq Ar jailId | jailName | beName
Destroy the jail created from the given boot environment.
.It Xo
.Cm umount
.Op Fl f
.Ar beName
.Xc
.It Xo
.Cm unmount
.Op Fl f
.Ar beName
.Xc
Unmount the given boot environment, if it is mounted.
Specifying
.Fl f
will force the unmount if busy.
.Pp
Unmount will not remove the mount point.
.El
.Pp
.Ss Boot Environment Structures
The traditional
.Fx
boot environment layout, as created by the Auto ZFS option to
.Xr bsdinstall 8 ,
is a
.Dq shallow
boot environment structure, where boot environment datasets do not have any
directly subordinate datasets.
Instead, they're organized off in
.Pa zroot/ROOT ,
and they rely on datasets elsewhere in the pool having
.Dv canmount
set to
.Dv off .
For instance, a simplified pool may be laid out as such:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
% zfs list -o name,canmount,mountpoint
NAME CANMOUNT MOUNTPOINT
zroot
zroot/ROOT noauto none
zroot/ROOT/default noauto none
zroot/home on /home
zroot/usr off /usr
zroot/usr/src on /usr/src
zroot/var off /var
.Ed
.Pp
In that example,
.Pa zroot/usr
has
.Dv canmount
set to
.Dv off ,
thus files in
.Pa /usr
typically fall into the boot environment because this dataset is not mounted.
.Pa zroot/usr/src
is mounted, thus files in
.Pa /usr/src
are not in the boot environment.
.Pp
The other style of boot environments in use, frequently called
.Dq deep boot environments ,
organizes some or all of the boot environment as subordinate to the boot
environment dataset.
For example:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
% zfs list -o name,canmount,mountpoint
NAME CANMOUNT MOUNTPOINT
zroot
zroot/ROOT noauto none
zroot/ROOT/default noauto none
zroot/ROOT/default/usr noauto /usr
zroot/ROOT/default/usr/local noauto /usr/local
zroot/var on /var
.Ed
.Pp
Note that the subordinate datasets now have
.Dv canmount
set to
.Dv noauto .
These are more obviously a part of the boot environment, as indicated by their
positioning in the layout.
These subordinate datasets will be mounted by the
.Dv zfsbe
.Xr rc 8
script at boot time.
In this example,
.Pa /var
is excluded from the boot environment.
.Pp
.Nm
subcommands that have their own
.Fl r
operate on this second,
.Dq deep
style of boot environment, when the
.Fl r
flag is set.
A future version of
.Nm
may default to handling both styles and deprecate the various
.Fl r
flags.
