This allows one to take a staged directory tree and create a file consisting of a ZFS pool with one or more datasets that contain the contents of the directory tree. This is useful for creating virtual machine images without using the kernel to create a pool; "zpool create" requires root privileges and currently is not permitted in jails. makefs -t zfs also provides reproducible images by using a fixed seed for pseudo-random number generation, used for generating GUIDs and hash salts. makefs -t zfs requires relatively little by way of machine resources. The "zpool_reguid" rc.conf setting can be used to ask a FreeBSD guest to generate a unique pool GUID upon first boot. A small number of pool and dataset properties are supported. The pool is backed by a single disk vdev. Data is always checksummed using Fletcher-4, no redundant copies are made, and no compression is used. The manual page documents supported pool and filesystem properties. The implementation uses a few pieces of ZFS support from with the boot loader, especially definitions for various on-disk structures, but is otherwise standalone and in particular doesn't depend on OpenZFS. This feature should be treated as experimental for now, i.e., important data shouldn't be trusted to a makefs-created pool, and the command-line interface is subject to change.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
