.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBzfs\fR command configures \fBZFS\fR datasets within a \fBZFS\fR storage
pool, as described in \fBzpool\fR(1M). A dataset is identified by a unique path
within the \fBZFS\fR namespace. For example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
where the maximum length of a dataset name is \fBMAXNAMELEN\fR (256 bytes).
.sp
.LP
A dataset can be one of the following:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIfile system\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A \fBZFS\fR dataset of type \fBfilesystem\fR can be mounted within the standard
system namespace and behaves like other file systems. While \fBZFS\fR file
systems are designed to be \fBPOSIX\fR compliant, known issues exist that
prevent compliance in some cases. Applications that depend on standards
conformance might fail due to nonstandard behavior when checking file system
free space.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIvolume\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
most environments.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIsnapshot\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
specified as \fIfilesystem@name\fR or \fIvolume@name\fR.
.RE

.SS "ZFS File System Hierarchy"
.LP
A \fBZFS\fR storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space
for datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the \fBZFS\fR file system
hierarchy.
.sp
.LP
The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
characteristics, however, are managed by the \fBzpool\fR(1M) command.
.sp
.LP
See \fBzpool\fR(1M) for more information on creating and administering pools.
.SS "Snapshots"
.LP
A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
.sp
.LP
Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
.sp
.LP
File system snapshots can be accessed under the \fB\&.zfs/snapshot\fR directory
in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted on demand
and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the \fB\&.zfs\fR
directory can be controlled by the \fBsnapdir\fR property.
.SS "Clones"
.LP
A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly
instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional space.
.sp
.LP
Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The \fBorigin\fR property
exposes this dependency, and the \fBdestroy\fR command lists any such
dependencies, if they exist.
.sp
.LP
The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
\fBpromote\fR subcommand. This causes the "origin" file system to become a
clone of the specified file system, which makes it possible to destroy the file
system that the clone was created from.
.SS "Mount Points"
.LP
Creating a \fBZFS\fR file system is a simple operation, so the number of file
systems per system is likely to be numerous. To cope with this, \fBZFS\fR
automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to
edit the \fB/etc/vfstab\fR file. All automatically managed file systems are
mounted by \fBZFS\fR at boot time.
.sp
.LP
By default, file systems are mounted under \fB/\fIpath\fR\fR, where \fIpath\fR
is the name of the file system in the \fBZFS\fR namespace. Directories are
created and destroyed as needed.
.sp
.LP
A file system can also have a mount point set in the \fBmountpoint\fR property.
This directory is created as needed, and \fBZFS\fR automatically mounts the
file system when the \fBzfs mount -a\fR command is invoked (without editing
\fB/etc/vfstab\fR). The \fBmountpoint\fR property can be inherited, so if
\fBpool/home\fR has a mount point of \fB/export/stuff\fR, then
\fBpool/home/user\fR automatically inherits a mount point of
\fB/export/stuff/user\fR.
.sp
.LP
A file system \fBmountpoint\fR property of \fBnone\fR prevents the file system
from being mounted.
.sp
.LP
If needed, \fBZFS\fR file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
(\fBmount\fR, \fBumount\fR, \fB/etc/vfstab\fR). If a file system's mount point
is set to \fBlegacy\fR, \fBZFS\fR makes no attempt to manage the file system,
and the administrator is responsible for mounting and unmounting the file
system.
.SS "Zones"
.LP
A \fBZFS\fR file system can be added to a non-global zone by using the
\fBzonecfg\fR \fBadd fs\fR subcommand. A \fBZFS\fR file system that is added to
a non-global zone must have its \fBmountpoint\fR property set to \fBlegacy\fR.
.sp
.LP
The physical properties of an added file system are controlled by the global
administrator. However, the zone administrator can create, modify, or destroy
files within the added file system, depending on how the file system is
mounted.
.sp
.LP
A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using the \fBzonecfg\fR
\fBadd dataset\fR subcommand. You cannot delegate a dataset to one zone and the
children of the same dataset to another zone. The zone administrator can change
properties of the dataset or any of its children. However, the \fBquota\fR
property is controlled by the global administrator.
.sp
.LP
A \fBZFS\fR volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using the
\fBzonecfg\fR \fBadd device\fR subcommand. However, its physical properties can
be modified only by the global administrator.
.sp
.LP
For more information about \fBzonecfg\fR syntax, see \fBzonecfg\fR(1M).
.sp
.LP
After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the \fBzoned\fR property is
automatically set. A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the global zone,
since the zone administrator might have to set the mount point to an
unacceptable value.
.sp
.LP
The global administrator can forcibly clear the \fBzoned\fR property, though
this should be done with extreme care. The global administrator should verify
that all the mount points are acceptable before clearing the property.
.SS "Native Properties"
.LP
Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
"user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
control \fBZFS\fR behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable
or read-only. User properties have no effect on \fBZFS\fR behavior, but you can
use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment.
For more information about user properties, see the "User Properties" section,
below.
.sp
.LP
Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
.sp
.LP
The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
(for example, \fBk\fR, \fBKB\fR, \fBM\fR, \fBGb\fR, and so forth, up to \fBZ\fR
for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
except for \fBmountpoint\fR, \fBsharenfs\fR, and \fBsharesmb\fR.
.sp
.LP
The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
.sp
.ne 2

\fB\fBavailable\fR\fR

.RS 4n
The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.

This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
\fBavail\fR.

For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the \fBused\fR

property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
the space shared with the origin snapshot.  For snapshots, the
\fBcompressratio\fR is the same as the \fBrefcompressratio\fR property.
Compression can be turned on by running: \fBzfs set compression=on
\fIdataset\fR\fR. The default value is \fBoff\fR.

The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
its reservation.
.sp
When snapshots (see the "Snapshots" section) are created, their space is
initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
to (and used by) other snapshots.
.sp
The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
seconds. Committing a change to a disk using \fBfsync\fR(3c) or \fBO_SYNC\fR
does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
immediately.

Controls how \fBACL\fR entries are inherited when files and directories are
created. A file system with an \fBaclinherit\fR property of \fBdiscard\fR does
not inherit any \fBACL\fR entries. A file system with an \fBaclinherit\fR
property value of \fBnoallow\fR only inherits inheritable \fBACL\fR entries
that specify "deny" permissions. The property value \fBrestricted\fR (the
default) removes the \fBwrite_acl\fR and \fBwrite_owner\fR permissions when the
\fBACL\fR entry is inherited. A file system with an \fBaclinherit\fR property
value of \fBpassthrough\fR inherits all inheritable \fBACL\fR entries without
any modifications made to the \fBACL\fR entries when they are inherited. A file
system with an \fBaclinherit\fR property value of \fBpassthrough-x\fR has the

Controls how an \fBACL\fR is modified during \fBchmod\fR(2). A file system with
an \fBaclmode\fR property of \fBdiscard\fR (the default) deletes all \fBACL\fR
entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An \fBaclmode\fR property
of \fBgroupmask\fR reduces permissions granted in all \fBALLOW\fR entries found
in the \fBACL\fR such that they are no greater than the group permissions
specified by \fBchmod\fR(2).  A file system with an \fBaclmode\fR property of
\fBpassthrough\fR indicates that no changes are made to the \fBACL\fR other
than creating or updating the necessary \fBACL\fR entries to represent the new
mode of the file or directory. An \fBaclmode\fR property of \fBrestricted\fR
will cause the \fBchmod\fR(2) operation to return an error when used on any
file or directory which has a non-trivial \fBACL\fR whose entries can not be
represented by a mode. \fBchmod\fR(2) is required to change the set user ID,
set group ID, or sticky bits on a file or directory, as they do not have
equivalent \fBACL\fR entries. In order to use \fBchmod\fR(2) on a file or

\fBrestricted\fR, you must first remove all \fBACL\fR entries which do not
represent the current mode.

setting the \fBmountpoint\fR property to \fBnone\fR, except that the dataset
still has a normal \fBmountpoint\fR property, which can be inherited. Setting
this property to \fBoff\fR allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to

two datasets with the same \fBmountpoint\fR, so that the children of both

.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The \fBlzjb\fR
compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
compression. Setting compression to \fBon\fR uses the \fBlzjb\fR compression
algorithm. The \fBgzip\fR compression algorithm uses the same compression as
the \fBgzip\fR(1) command. You can specify the \fBgzip\fR level by using the
value \fBgzip-\fR\fIN\fR where \fIN\fR is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9

(which is also the default for \fBgzip\fR(1)). The \fBzle\fR compression
algorithm compresses runs of zeros.

The \fBlz4\fR compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement

Because \fBSMB\fR shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is

characters. A pseudo property "name" is also supported that allows you to
replace the data set name with a specified name. The specified name is then
used to replace the prefix dataset in the case of inheritance. For example, if
the dataset \fBdata/home/john\fR is set to \fBname=john\fR, then
\fBdata/home/john\fR has a resource name of \fBjohn\fR. If a child dataset of
\fBdata/home/john/backups\fR, it has a resource name of \fBjohn_backups\fR.

disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.

For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a

The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending

Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with \fBENOSPC\fR when the

The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
properties are not set with the \fBzfs create\fR or \fBzpool create\fR

dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for

The \fBmixed\fR value for the \fBcasesensitivity\fR property indicates that the

.SS "Temporary Mount Point Properties"
.LP
When a file system is mounted, either through \fBmount\fR(1M) for legacy mounts
or the \fBzfs mount\fR command for normal file systems, its mount options are
set according to its properties. The correlation between properties and mount
options is as follows:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
    PROPERTY                MOUNT OPTION
     devices                 devices/nodevices
     exec                    exec/noexec
     readonly                ro/rw
     setuid                  setuid/nosetuid
     xattr                   xattr/noxattr
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the \fB-o\fR
option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. The
\fB-nosuid\fR option is an alias for \fBnodevices,nosetuid\fR. These properties
are reported as "temporary" by the \fBzfs get\fR command. If the properties are
changed while the dataset is mounted, the new setting overrides any temporary
settings.
.SS "User Properties"
.LP
In addition to the standard native properties, \fBZFS\fR supports arbitrary
user properties. User properties have no effect on \fBZFS\fR behavior, but
applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets (file systems,
volumes, and snapshots).
.sp
.LP
User property names must contain a colon (\fB:\fR) character to distinguish
them from native properties. They may contain lowercase letters, numbers, and
the following punctuation characters: colon (\fB:\fR), dash (\fB-\fR), period
(\fB\&.\fR), and underscore (\fB_\fR). The expected convention is that the
property name is divided into two portions such as
\fImodule\fR\fB:\fR\fIproperty\fR, but this namespace is not enforced by
\fBZFS\fR. User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin
with a dash (\fB-\fR).
.sp
.LP
When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
use a reversed \fBDNS\fR domain name for the \fImodule\fR component of property
names to reduce the chance that two independently-developed packages use the
same property name for different purposes. Property names beginning with
\fBcom.sun\fR. are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
.sp
.LP
The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties (\fBzfs
list\fR, \fBzfs get\fR, \fBzfs set\fR, and so forth) can be used to manipulate
both native properties and user properties. Use the \fBzfs inherit\fR command
to clear a user property . If the property is not defined in any parent
dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024
characters.
.SS "ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices"
.LP
During an initial installation a swap device and dump device are created on
\fBZFS\fR volumes in the \fBZFS\fR root pool. By default, the swap area size is
based on 1/2 the size of physical memory up to 2 Gbytes. The size of the dump
device depends on the kernel's requirements at installation time. Separate
\fBZFS\fR volumes must be used for the swap area and dump devices. Do not swap
to a file on a \fBZFS\fR file system. A \fBZFS\fR swap file configuration is
not supported.
.sp
.LP
If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is
installed or upgraded, use the \fBswap\fR(1M) and \fBdumpadm\fR(1M) commands.
If you need to change the size of your swap area or dump device, see the
\fISolaris ZFS Administration Guide\fR.

The following example shows how to maintain a history of snapshots with a
consistent naming scheme. To keep a week's worth of snapshots, the user
destroys the oldest snapshot, renames the remaining snapshots, and then creates
a new snapshot, as follows:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
# \fBzfs destroy -r pool/users@7daysago\fR
# \fBzfs rename -r pool/users@6daysago @7daysago\fR
# \fBzfs rename -r pool/users@5daysago @6daysago\fR
