.TH ZPOOL-FEATURES 5 "Jun 8, 2018"
|

.SH NAME
|
|
zpool\-features \- ZFS pool feature descriptions
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
ZFS pool on\-disk format versions are specified via "features" which replace
|
|
the old on\-disk format numbers (the last supported on\-disk format number is
|
|
28). To enable a feature on a pool use the \fBupgrade\fR subcommand of the
|
|
zpool(8) command, or set the \fBfeature@\fR\fIfeature_name\fR property
|
|
to \fBenabled\fR.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
The pool format does not affect file system version compatibility or the ability
|
|
to send file systems between pools.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Since most features can be enabled independently of each other the on\-disk
|
|
format of the pool is specified by the set of all features marked as
|
|
\fBactive\fR on the pool. If the pool was created by another software version
|
|
this set may include unsupported features.
|
|
.SS "Identifying features"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Every feature has a GUID of the form \fIcom.example:feature_name\fR. The
|
|
reverse DNS name ensures that the feature's GUID is unique across all ZFS
|
|
implementations. When unsupported features are encountered on a pool they will
|
|
be identified by their GUIDs. Refer to the documentation for the ZFS
|
|
implementation that created the pool for information about those features.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Each supported feature also has a short name. By convention a feature's short
|
|
name is the portion of its GUID which follows the ':' (e.g.
|
|
\fIcom.example:feature_name\fR would have the short name \fIfeature_name\fR),
|
|
however a feature's short name may differ across ZFS implementations if
|
|
following the convention would result in name conflicts.
|
|
.SS "Feature states"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Features can be in one of three states:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ne 2
|
|
.na
|
|
\fBactive\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
This feature's on\-disk format changes are in effect on the pool. Support for
|
|
this feature is required to import the pool in read\-write mode. If this
|
|
feature is not read-only compatible, support is also required to import the pool
|
|
in read\-only mode (see "Read\-only compatibility").
|
|
.RE

.ne 2

.na
|

\fBenabled\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
An administrator has marked this feature as enabled on the pool, but the
|
|
feature's on\-disk format changes have not been made yet. The pool can still be
|
|
imported by software that does not support this feature, but changes may be made
|
|
to the on\-disk format at any time which will move the feature to the
|
|
\fBactive\fR state. Some features may support returning to the \fBenabled\fR
|
|
state after becoming \fBactive\fR. See feature\-specific documentation for
|
|
details.

\fBdisabled\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
This feature's on\-disk format changes have not been made and will not be made
|
|
unless an administrator moves the feature to the \fBenabled\fR state. Features
|
|
cannot be disabled once they have been enabled.
|
|
.RE

.LP
|

The state of supported features is exposed through pool properties of the form
|
|
\fIfeature@short_name\fR.
|
|
.SS "Read\-only compatibility"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
Some features may make on\-disk format changes that do not interfere with other
|
|
software's ability to read from the pool. These features are referred to as
|
|
"read\-only compatible". If all unsupported features on a pool are read\-only
|
|
compatible, the pool can be imported in read\-only mode by setting the
|
|
\fBreadonly\fR property during import (see zpool(8) for details on
|
|
importing pools).
|
|
.SS "Unsupported features"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|
|
For each unsupported feature enabled on an imported pool a pool property
|
|
named \fIunsupported@feature_name\fR will indicate why the import was allowed
|
|
despite the unsupported feature. Possible values for this property are:
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
.ne 2
|
|
.na
|
|
\fBinactive\fR
|
|
.ad
|
|
.RS 12n
|
|
The feature is in the \fBenabled\fR state and therefore the pool's on\-disk
|
|
format is still compatible with software that does not support this feature.
|

read\-only mode.

.SS "Feature dependencies"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.LP
|

Some features depend on other features being enabled in order to function
|
|
properly. Enabling a feature will automatically enable any features it
|
|
depends on.
|
|
.SH FEATURES

|
Destroying a file system requires traversing all of its data in order to
|
|
return its used space to the pool. Without \fBasync_destroy\fR the file system
|
|
is not fully removed until all space has been reclaimed. If the destroy
|
|
operation is interrupted by a reboot or power outage the next attempt to open
|
|
the pool will need to complete the destroy operation synchronously.
|
|
|
|
When \fBasync_destroy\fR is enabled the file system's data will be reclaimed
|
|
by a background process, allowing the destroy operation to complete without
|
|
traversing the entire file system. The background process is able to resume
|
|
interrupted destroys after the pool has been opened, eliminating the need
|
|
to finish interrupted destroys as part of the open operation. The amount
|
|
of space remaining to be reclaimed by the background process is available
|
|
through the \fBfreeing\fR property.
|
|
|
|
This feature is only \fBactive\fR while \fBfreeing\fR is non\-zero.

GUID org.illumos:edonr

|
This feature enables the use of the Edon-R hash algorithm for checksum,
|
|
including for nopwrite (if compression is also enabled, an overwrite of
|
|
a block whose checksum matches the data being written will be ignored).
|
|
In an abundance of caution, Edon-R requires verification when used with
|
|
dedup: \fBzfs set dedup=edonr,verify\fR. See \fBzfs\fR(8).
|
|
|
|
Edon-R is a very high-performance hash algorithm that was part
|
|
of the NIST SHA-3 competition. It provides extremely high hash
|
|
performance (over 350% faster than SHA-256), but was not selected
|
|
because of its unsuitability as a general purpose secure hash algorithm.
|
|
This implementation utilizes the new salted checksumming functionality
|
|
in ZFS, which means that the checksum is pre-seeded with a secret
|
|
256-bit random key (stored on the pool) before being fed the data block
|
|
to be checksummed. Thus the produced checksums are unique to a given
|
|
pool.
|
|
|
|
When the \fBedonr\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the administrator
|
|
can turn on the \fBedonr\fR checksum on any dataset using the
|
|
\fBzfs set checksum=edonr\fR. See zfs(8). This feature becomes
|
|
\fBactive\fR once a \fBchecksum\fR property has been set to \fBedonr\fR,
|
|
and will return to being \fBenabled\fR once all filesystems that have
|
|
ever had their checksum set to \fBedonr\fR are destroyed.
|
|
|
|
The \fBedonr\fR feature is not supported by GRUB and must not be used on
|
|
the pool if GRUB needs to access the pool (e.g. for /boot).

.TE
|
|
|
|
This feature improves the performance and compression ratio of
|
|
highly-compressible blocks. Blocks whose contents can compress to 112 bytes
|
|
or smaller can take advantage of this feature.
|
|
|
|
When this feature is enabled, the contents of highly-compressible blocks are
|
|
stored in the block "pointer" itself (a misnomer in this case, as it contains
|
|
the compressed data, rather than a pointer to its location on disk). Thus
|
|
the space of the block (one sector, typically 512 bytes or 4KB) is saved,
|
|
and no additional i/o is needed to read and write the data block.
|

This feature becomes \fBactive\fR as soon as it is enabled and will

never return to being \fBenabled\fR.

This feature increases the performance of creating and using a large

number of snapshots of a single filesystem or volume, and also reduces

|
the disk space required.
|
|
|
|
When there are many snapshots, each snapshot uses many Block Pointer
|
|
Objects (bpobj's) to track blocks associated with that snapshot.
|
|
However, in common use cases, most of these bpobj's are empty. This
|
|
feature allows us to create each bpobj on-demand, thus eliminating the
|
|
empty bpobjs.

This feature has/had bugs, the result of which is that, if you do a
|
|
\fBzfs send -i\fR (or \fB-R\fR, since it uses \fB-i\fR) from an affected
|
|
dataset, the receiver will not see any checksum or other errors, but the
|
|
resulting destination snapshot will not match the source. Its use by
|
|
\fBzfs send -i\fR has been disabled by default. See the
|
|
\fBsend_holes_without_birth_time\fR module parameter in
|
|
zfs-module-parameters(5).
|
|
|
|
This feature improves performance of incremental sends (\fBzfs send -i\fR)
|
|
and receives for objects with many holes. The most common case of
|
|
hole-filled objects is zvols.
|
|
|
|
An incremental send stream from snapshot \fBA\fR to snapshot \fBB\fR
|
|
contains information about every block that changed between \fBA\fR and
|
|
\fBB\fR. Blocks which did not change between those snapshots can be
|
|
identified and omitted from the stream using a piece of metadata called
|
|
the 'block birth time', but birth times are not recorded for holes (blocks
|
|
filled only with zeroes). Since holes created after \fBA\fR cannot be
|
|
distinguished from holes created before \fBA\fR, information about every
|
|
hole in the entire filesystem or zvol is included in the send stream.
|
|
|
|
For workloads where holes are rare this is not a problem. However, when
|
|
incrementally replicating filesystems or zvols with many holes (for
|
|
example a zvol formatted with another filesystem) a lot of time will
|
|
be spent sending and receiving unnecessary information about holes that
|
|
already exist on the receiving side.
|
|
|
|
Once the \fBhole_birth\fR feature has been enabled the block birth times
|
|
of all new holes will be recorded. Incremental sends between snapshots
|
|
created after this feature is enabled will use this new metadata to avoid
|
|
sending information about holes that already exist on the receiving side.

This feature becomes \fBactive\fR as soon as it is enabled and will

\fBlz4\fR is a high-performance real-time compression algorithm that
|
|
features significantly faster compression and decompression as well as a
|
|
higher compression ratio than the older \fBlzjb\fR compression.
|
|
Typically, \fBlz4\fR compression is approximately 50% faster on
|
|
compressible data and 200% faster on incompressible data than
|
|
\fBlzjb\fR. It is also approximately 80% faster on decompression, while
|
|
giving approximately 10% better compression ratio.
|
|
|
|
When the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the
|
|
administrator can turn on \fBlz4\fR compression on any dataset on the
|
|
pool using the zfs(8) command. Please note that doing so will
|
|
immediately activate the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature on the underlying
|
|
pool using the zfs(8) command. Also, all newly written metadata
|
|
will be compressed with \fBlz4\fR algorithm. Since this feature is not
|
|
read-only compatible, this operation will render the pool unimportable
|
|
on systems without support for the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature.
|
|
|
|
Booting off of \fBlz4\fR-compressed root pools is supported.
|
|
|
|
This feature becomes \fBactive\fR as soon as it is enabled and will
|

never return to being \fBenabled\fB.

This feature enables the use of the Skein hash algorithm for checksum

|
|
finalist in the NIST SHA-3 competition. It provides a very high security
|
|
margin and high performance on 64-bit hardware (80% faster than
|
|
SHA-256). This implementation also utilizes the new salted checksumming
|
|
functionality in ZFS, which means that the checksum is pre-seeded with a
|
|
secret 256-bit random key (stored on the pool) before being fed the data
|
|
block to be checksummed. Thus the produced checksums are unique to a
|
|
given pool, preventing hash collision attacks on systems with dedup.
