279 .Sh DESCRIPTION
280 The
281 .Nm
282 command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in
283 .Xr zpool 1M .
284 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace.
285 For example:
286 .Bd -literal
287 pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
288 .Ed
289 .Pp
290 where the maximum length of a dataset name is
291 .Dv MAXNAMELEN
292 .Pq 256 bytes
293 and the maximum amount of nesting allowed in a path is 50 levels deep.
294 .Pp
295 A dataset can be one of the following:
296 .Bl -tag -width "file system"
297 .It Sy file system
298 A ZFS dataset of type
299 .Sy filesystem
300 can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
301 systems.
302 While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX compliant, known issues exist
303 that prevent compliance in some cases.
304 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to non-standard
305 behavior when checking file system free space.
306 .It Sy volume
307 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device.
308 This type of dataset should only be used under special circumstances.
309 File systems are typically used in most environments.
310 .It Sy snapshot
311 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time.
312 It is specified as
313 .Ar filesystem Ns @ Ns Ar name
314 or
315 .Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar name .
316 .El
317 .Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
318 A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
319 datasets.
320 A storage pool is also the root of the ZFS file system hierarchy.
321 .Pp
322 The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
323 unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties.
324 The physical storage characteristics, however, are managed by the
325 .Xr zpool 1M
326 command.
327 .Pp
328 See
329 .Xr zpool 1M
330 for more information on creating and administering pools.
331 .Ss Snapshots
332 A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume.
333 Snapshots can be created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional
334 space within the pool.
335 As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more data than
336 would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
337 .Pp
338 Snapshots can have arbitrary names.
339 Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or rolled back, but cannot be accessed
340 independently.
341 .Pp
342 File system snapshots can be accessed under the
343 .Pa .zfs/snapshot
344 directory in the root of the file system.
345 Snapshots are automatically mounted on demand and may be unmounted at regular
346 intervals.
347 The visibility of the
348 .Pa .zfs
349 directory can be controlled by the
350 .Sy snapdir
351 property.
352 .Ss Clones
353 A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
354 as another dataset.
355 As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly instantaneous, and initially
356 consumes no additional space.
357 .Pp
358 Clones can only be created from a snapshot.
359 When a snapshot is cloned, it creates an implicit dependency between the parent
360 and child.
361 Even though the clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the
362 original snapshot cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists.
363 The
364 .Sy origin
365 property exposes this dependency, and the
366 .Cm destroy
367 command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
368 .Pp
369 The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
370 .Cm promote
371 subcommand.
372 This causes the
373 .Qq origin
374 file system to become a clone of the specified file system, which makes it
375 possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created from.
376 .Ss "Mount Points"
377 Creating a ZFS file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems
378 per system is likely to be numerous.
379 To cope with this, ZFS automatically manages mounting and unmounting file
380 systems without the need to edit the
381 .Pa /etc/vfstab
382 file.
383 All automatically managed file systems are mounted by ZFS at boot time.
384 .Pp
385 By default, file systems are mounted under
386 .Pa /path ,
387 where
388 .Ar path
389 is the name of the file system in the ZFS namespace.
390 Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
391 .Pp
392 A file system can also have a mount point set in the
393 .Sy mountpoint
394 property.
395 This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the file
396 system when the
397 .Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
398 command is invoked
399 .Po without editing
400 .Pa /etc/vfstab
401 .Pc .
402 The
403 .Sy mountpoint
404 property can be inherited, so if
405 .Em pool/home
406 has a mount point of
407 .Pa /export/stuff ,
408 then
409 .Em pool/home/user
410 automatically inherits a mount point of
411 .Pa /export/stuff/user .
412 .Pp
413 A file system
414 .Sy mountpoint
415 property of
416 .Sy none
417 prevents the file system from being mounted.
418 .Pp
419 If needed, ZFS file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
420 .Po
421 .Nm mount ,
422 .Nm umount ,
423 .Pa /etc/vfstab
424 .Pc .
425 If a file system's mount point is set to
426 .Sy legacy ,
427 ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
428 responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
429 .Ss "Zones"
430 A ZFS file system can be added to a non-global zone by using the
431 .Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy fs
432 subcommand.
433 A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its
434 .Sy mountpoint
435 property set to
436 .Sy legacy .
437 .Pp
438 The physical properties of an added file system are controlled by the global
439 administrator.
440 However, the zone administrator can create, modify, or destroy files within the
441 added file system, depending on how the file system is mounted.
442 .Pp
443 A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using the
444 .Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy dataset
445 subcommand.
446 You cannot delegate a dataset to one zone and the children of the same dataset
447 to another zone.
448 The zone administrator can change properties of the dataset or any of its
449 children.
450 However, the
451 .Sy quota ,
452 .Sy filesystem_limit
453 and
454 .Sy snapshot_limit
455 properties of the delegated dataset can be modified only by the global
456 administrator.
457 .Pp
458 A ZFS volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using the
459 .Nm zonecfg Cm add Sy device
460 subcommand.
461 However, its physical properties can be modified only by the global
462 administrator.
463 .Pp
464 For more information about
465 .Nm zonecfg
466 syntax, see
467 .Xr zonecfg 1M .
468 .Pp
469 After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the
470 .Sy zoned
471 property is automatically set.
472 A zoned file system cannot be mounted in the global zone, since the zone
473 administrator might have to set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
474 .Pp
475 The global administrator can forcibly clear the
476 .Sy zoned
477 property, though this should be done with extreme care.
478 The global administrator should verify that all the mount points are acceptable
479 before clearing the property.
480 .Ss Native Properties
481 Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined
482 .Po or
483 .Qq user
484 .Pc
485 properties.
486 Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS behavior.
487 In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only.
488 User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but you can use them to annotate
489 datasets in a way that is meaningful in your environment.
490 For more information about user properties, see the
491 .Sx User Properties
492 section, below.
493 .Pp
494 Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
495 as well as control various behaviors.
496 Properties are inherited from the parent unless overridden by the child.
497 Some properties apply only to certain types of datasets
498 .Pq file systems, volumes, or snapshots .
499 .Pp
500 The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
501 .Po for example,
502 .Sy k ,
503 .Sy KB ,
504 .Sy M ,
505 .Sy Gb ,
506 and so forth, up to
507 .Sy Z
508 for zettabyte
509 .Pc .
510 The following are all valid
511 .Pq and equal
512 specifications:
513 .Li 1536M, 1.5g, 1.50GB .
514 .Pp
515 The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
516 except for
517 .Sy mountpoint ,
518 .Sy sharenfs ,
519 and
520 .Sy sharesmb .
521 .Pp
522 The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
523 dataset.
524 These properties can be neither set, nor inherited.
525 Native properties apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
526 .Bl -tag -width "usedbyrefreservation"
527 .It Sy available
528 The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming that
529 there is no other activity in the pool.
530 Because space is shared within a pool, availability can be limited by any number
531 of factors, including physical pool size, quotas, reservations, or other
532 datasets within the pool.
533 .Pp
534 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
535 .Sy avail .
536 .It Sy compressratio
537 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
538 .Sy used
539 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.
540 The
541 .Sy used
542 property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include the
543 space shared with the origin snapshot.
544 For snapshots, the
545 .Sy compressratio
546 is the same as the
547 .Sy refcompressratio
548 property.
549 Compression can be turned on by running:
550 .Nm zfs Cm set Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ar dataset .
551 The default value is
552 .Sy off .
553 .It Sy createtxg
554 The transaction group (txg) in which the dataset was created.
555 Bookmarks have the same
556 .Sy createtxg
557 as the snapshot they are initially tied to.
558 This property is suitable for ordering a list of snapshots,
559 e.g. for incremental send and receive.
560 .It Sy creation
561 The time this dataset was created.
562 .It Sy clones
563 For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or volumes
564 which are clones of this snapshot.
565 The clones'
566 .Sy origin
567 property is this snapshot.
568 If the
569 .Sy clones
570 property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed
571 .Po even with the
572 .Fl r
573 or
574 .Fl f
575 options
576 .Pc .
577 .It Sy defer_destroy
578 This property is
579 .Sy on
580 if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
581 .Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
582 command.
583 Otherwise, the property is
584 .Sy off .
585 .It Sy filesystem_count
586 The total number of filesystems and volumes that exist under this location in
587 the dataset tree.
588 This value is only available when a
589 .Sy filesystem_limit
590 has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
591 .It Sy guid
592 The 64 bit GUID of this dataset or bookmark which does not change over its
593 entire lifetime.
594 When a snapshot is sent to another pool, the received snapshot has the same
595 GUID.
596 Thus, the
597 .Sy guid
598 is suitable to identify a snapshot across pools.
599 .It Sy logicalreferenced
600 The amount of space that is
601 .Qq logically
602 accessible by this dataset.
603 See the
604 .Sy referenced
605 property.
606 The logical space ignores the effect of the
607 .Sy compression
608 and
609 .Sy copies
610 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
611 see.
612 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
613 .Pp
614 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
615 .Sy lrefer .
616 .It Sy logicalused
617 The amount of space that is
618 .Qq logically
619 consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
620 See the
621 .Sy used
622 property.
623 The logical space ignores the effect of the
624 .Sy compression
625 and
626 .Sy copies
627 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
628 see.
629 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
630 .Pp
631 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
632 .Sy lused .
633 .It Sy mounted
634 For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted.
635 This property can be either
636 .Sy yes
637 or
638 .Sy no .
639 .It Sy origin
640 For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was

642 See also the
643 .Sy clones
644 property.
645 .It Sy receive_resume_token
646 For filesystems or volumes which have saved partially-completed state from
647 .Sy zfs receive -s ,
648 this opaque token can be provided to
649 .Sy zfs send -t
650 to resume and complete the
651 .Sy zfs receive .
652 .It Sy referenced
653 The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
654 shared with other datasets in the pool.
655 When a snapshot or clone is created, it initially references the same amount of
656 space as the file system or snapshot it was created from, since its contents are
657 identical.
658 .Pp
659 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
660 .Sy refer .
661 .It Sy refcompressratio
662 The compression ratio achieved for the
663 .Sy referenced
664 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.
665 See also the
666 .Sy compressratio
667 property.
668 .It Sy snapshot_count
669 The total number of snapshots that exist under this location in the dataset
670 tree.
671 This value is only available when a
672 .Sy snapshot_limit
673 has been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
674 .It Sy type
675 The type of dataset:
676 .Sy filesystem ,
677 .Sy volume ,
678 or
679 .Sy snapshot .
680 .It Sy used
681 The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
682 This is the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation.
683 The space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
684 account the reservations of any descendent datasets.
685 The amount of space that a dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the
686 amount of space that is freed if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the
687 greater of its space used and its reservation.
688 .Pp
689 The used space of a snapshot
690 .Po see the
691 .Sx Snapshots
692 section
693 .Pc
694 is space that is referenced exclusively by this snapshot.
695 If this snapshot is destroyed, the amount of
696 .Sy used
697 space will be freed.
698 Space that is shared by multiple snapshots isn't accounted for in this metric.
699 When a snapshot is destroyed, space that was previously shared with this
700 snapshot can become unique to snapshots adjacent to it, thus changing the used
701 space of those snapshots.
702 The used space of the latest snapshot can also be affected by changes in the
703 file system.
704 Note that the
705 .Sy used
706 space of a snapshot is a subset of the
707 .Sy written
708 space of the snapshot.
709 .Pp
710 The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
711 pending changes.
712 Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few seconds.
713 Committing a change to a disk using
714 .Xr fsync 3C
715 or
716 .Dv O_SYNC
717 does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
718 immediately.
719 .It Sy usedby*
720 The
721 .Sy usedby*
722 properties decompose the
723 .Sy used
724 properties into the various reasons that space is used.
725 Specifically,
726 .Sy used No =
727 .Sy usedbychildren No +
728 .Sy usedbydataset No +
729 .Sy usedbyrefreservation No +
730 .Sy usedbysnapshots .
731 These properties are only available for datasets created on
732 .Nm zpool
733 .Qo version 13 Qc
734 pools.
735 .It Sy usedbychildren
736 The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
737 all the dataset's children were destroyed.
738 .It Sy usedbydataset
739 The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
740 dataset were destroyed
741 .Po after first removing any
742 .Sy refreservation
743 and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents
744 .Pc .
745 .It Sy usedbyrefreservation
746 The amount of space used by a
747 .Sy refreservation
748 set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
749 .Sy refreservation
750 was removed.
751 .It Sy usedbysnapshots
752 The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset.
753 In particular, it is the amount of space that would be freed if all of this
754 dataset's snapshots were destroyed.
755 Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
756 .Sy used
757 properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
758 .It Sy userused Ns @ Ns Em user
759 The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset.
760 Space is charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by

810 .It Sy groupused Ns @ Ns Em group
811 The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset.
812 Space is charged to the group of each file, as displayed by

823 can access all groups' usage.
824 .It Sy volblocksize
825 For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume.
826 The
827 .Sy blocksize
828 cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
829 volume creation time.
830 The default
831 .Sy blocksize
832 for volumes is 8 Kbytes.
833 Any power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
834 .Pp
835 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
836 .Sy volblock .
837 .It Sy written
838 The amount of space
839 .Sy referenced
840 by this dataset, that was written since the previous snapshot
841 .Pq i.e. that is not referenced by the previous snapshot .
842 .It Sy written Ns @ Ns Em snapshot
843 The amount of
844 .Sy referenced
845 space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot.
846 This is the space that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by
847 the specified snapshot.
848 .Pp
849 The
850 .Em snapshot
851 may be specified as a short snapshot name
852 .Po just the part after the

854 .Pc ,
855 in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
856 this dataset.
857 The

859 may be a full snapshot name
860 .Po Em filesystem Ns @ Ns Em snapshot Pc ,

865 The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a ZFS
866 dataset.
867 .Bl -tag -width ""
868 .It Xo
869 .Sy aclinherit Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy noallow Ns | Ns
870 .Sy restricted Ns | Ns Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy passthrough-x
871 .Xc
872 Controls how ACEs are inherited when files and directories are created.
873 .Bl -tag -width "passthrough-x"
874 .It Sy discard
875 does not inherit any ACEs.
876 .It Sy noallow
877 only inherits inheritable ACEs that specify
878 .Qq deny
879 permissions.
880 .It Sy restricted
881 default, removes the
882 .Sy write_acl
883 and
884 .Sy write_owner
885 permissions when the ACE is inherited.
886 .It Sy passthrough
887 inherits all inheritable ACEs without any modifications.
888 .It Sy passthrough-x
889 same meaning as
890 .Sy passthrough ,
891 except that the
892 .Sy owner@ ,
893 .Sy group@ ,
894 and
895 .Sy everyone@
896 ACEs inherit the execute permission only if the file creation mode also requests
897 the execute bit.
898 .El
899 .Pp
900 When the property value is set to
901 .Sy passthrough ,
902 files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable ACEs.
903 If no inheritable ACEs exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in
904 accordance to the requested mode from the application.
905 .It Xo
906 .Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Sy discard Ns | Ns Sy groupmask Ns | Ns
907 .Sy passthrough Ns | Ns Sy restricted
908 .Xc
909 Controls how an ACL is modified during
910 .Xr chmod 2
911 and how inherited ACEs are modified by the file creation mode.
912 .Bl -tag -width "passthrough"
913 .It Sy discard
914 default, deletes all ACEs except for those representing the mode of the file or
915 directory requested by
916 .Xr chmod 2 .
917 .It Sy groupmask
918 reduces permissions granted by all
919 .Sy ALLOW
920 entries found in the ACL such that they are no greater than the group
921 permissions specified by the mode.
922 .It Sy passthrough
923 indicates that no changes are made to the ACL other than creating or updating
924 the necessary ACEs to represent the new mode of the file or directory.
925 .It Sy restricted
926 causes the
927 .Xr chmod 2
928 operation to return an error when used on any file or directory which has a
929 non-trivial ACL, with entries in addition to those that represent the mode.
930 .El
931 .Pp
932 .Xr chmod 2
933 is required to change the set user ID, set group ID, or sticky bit on a file or
934 directory, as they do not have equivalent ACEs.
935 In order to use
936 .Xr chmod 2
937 on a file or directory with a non-trivial ACL when
938 .Sy aclmode
939 is set to
940 .Sy restricted ,
941 you must first remove all ACEs except for those that represent the current mode.
942 .It Sy atime Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
943 Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
944 Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
945 can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
946 and other similar utilities.
947 The default value is
948 .Sy on .
949 .It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy noauto
950 If this property is set to
951 .Sy off ,
952 the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
953 .Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a .
954 Setting this property to
955 .Sy off
956 is similar to setting the
957 .Sy mountpoint
958 property to
959 .Sy none ,
960 except that the dataset still has a normal
961 .Sy mountpoint
962 property, which can be inherited.
963 Setting this property to
964 .Sy off
965 allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties.
966 One example of setting
967 .Sy canmount Ns = Ns Sy off
968 is to have two datasets with the same
969 .Sy mountpoint ,
970 so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
971 have different inherited characteristics.
972 .Pp
973 When set to
974 .Sy noauto ,
975 a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly.
976 The dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or
977 imported, nor is it mounted by the
978 .Nm zfs Cm mount Fl a
979 command or unmounted by the
980 .Nm zfs Cm unmount Fl a
981 command.
982 .Pp
983 This property is not inherited.
984 .It Xo
985 .Sy checksum Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy fletcher2 Ns | Ns
986 .Sy fletcher4 Ns | Ns Sy sha256 Ns | Ns Sy noparity Ns | Ns
987 .Sy sha512 Ns | Ns Sy skein Ns | Ns Sy edonr
988 .Xc
989 Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity.
990 The default value is
991 .Sy on ,
992 which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm
993 .Po currently,
994 .Sy fletcher4 ,
995 but this may change in future releases
996 .Pc .
997 The value
998 .Sy off
999 disables integrity checking on user data.
1000 The value
1001 .Sy noparity
1002 not only disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data.
1003 This setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and
1004 should not be used by any other dataset.
1005 Disabling checksums is
1006 .Sy NOT
1007 a recommended practice.
1008 .Pp
1009 The
1010 .Sy sha512 ,
1011 .Sy skein ,
1012 and
1013 .Sy edonr
1014 checksum algorithms require enabling the appropriate features on the pool.
1015 Please see
1016 .Xr zpool-features 5
1017 for more information on these algorithms.
1018 .Pp
1019 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
1020 .It Xo
1021 .Sy compression Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Sy gzip Ns | Ns
1022 .Sy gzip- Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy lz4 Ns | Ns Sy lzjb Ns | Ns Sy zle
1023 .Xc
1024 Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset.
1025 .Pp
1026 Setting compression to
1027 .Sy on
1028 indicates that the current default compression algorithm should be used.
1029 The default balances compression and decompression speed, with compression ratio
1030 and is expected to work well on a wide variety of workloads.
1031 Unlike all other settings for this property,
1032 .Sy on
1033 does not select a fixed compression type.
1034 As new compression algorithms are added to ZFS and enabled on a pool, the
1035 default compression algorithm may change.
1036 The current default compression algorithm is either
1037 .Sy lzjb
1038 or, if the
1039 .Sy lz4_compress
1040 feature is enabled,
1041 .Sy lz4 .
1042 .Pp
1043 The
1044 .Sy lz4
1045 compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement for the
1046 .Sy lzjb
1047 algorithm.
1048 It features significantly faster compression and decompression, as well as a
1049 moderately higher compression ratio than
1050 .Sy lzjb ,
1051 but can only be used on pools with the
1052 .Sy lz4_compress
1053 feature set to
1054 .Sy enabled .
1055 See
1056 .Xr zpool-features 5
1057 for details on ZFS feature flags and the
1058 .Sy lz4_compress
1059 feature.
1060 .Pp
1061 The
1062 .Sy lzjb
1063 compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
1064 compression.
1065 .Pp
1066 The
1067 .Sy gzip
1068 compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
1069 .Xr gzip 1
1070 command.
1071 You can specify the
1072 .Sy gzip
1073 level by using the value
1074 .Sy gzip- Ns Em N ,
1075 where
1076 .Em N
1077 is an integer from 1
1078 .Pq fastest
1079 to 9
1080 .Pq best compression ratio .
1081 Currently,
1082 .Sy gzip
1083 is equivalent to
1084 .Sy gzip-6
1085 .Po which is also the default for
1086 .Xr gzip 1
1087 .Pc .
1088 .Pp
1089 The
1090 .Sy zle
1091 compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
1092 .Pp
1093 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
1094 .Sy compress .
1095 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
1096 .It Sy copies Ns = Ns Sy 1 Ns | Ns Sy 2 Ns | Ns Sy 3
1097 Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset.
1098 These copies are in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for
1099 example, mirroring or RAID-Z.
1100 The copies are stored on different disks, if possible.
1101 The space used by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset,
1102 changing the
1103 .Sy used
1104 property and counting against quotas and reservations.
1105 .Pp
1106 Changing this property only affects newly-written data.
1107 Therefore, set this property at file system creation time by using the
1108 .Fl o Sy copies Ns = Ns Ar N
1109 option.
1110 .It Sy devices Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1111 Controls whether device nodes can be opened on this file system.
1112 The default value is
1113 .Sy on .
1114 .It Sy exec Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1115 Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system.
1116 The default value is
1117 .Sy on .
1118 .It Sy filesystem_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1119 Limits the number of filesystems and volumes that can exist under this point in
1120 the dataset tree.
1121 The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change the limit.
1122 Setting a
1123 .Sy filesystem_limit
1124 to
1125 .Sy on
1126 a descendent of a filesystem that already has a
1127 .Sy filesystem_limit
1128 does not override the ancestor's
1129 .Sy filesystem_limit ,
1130 but rather imposes an additional limit.
1131 This feature must be enabled to be used
1132 .Po see
1133 .Xr zpool-features 5
1134 .Pc .
1135 .It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Pa path Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy legacy
1136 Controls the mount point used for this file system.
1137 See the
1138 .Sx Mount Points
1139 section for more information on how this property is used.
1140 .Pp
1141 When the
1142 .Sy mountpoint
1143 property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1144 inherit the mount point are unmounted.
1145 If the new value is
1146 .Sy legacy ,
1147 then they remain unmounted.
1148 Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the new location if the property
1149 was previously
1150 .Sy legacy
1151 or
1152 .Sy none ,
1153 or if they were mounted before the property was changed.
1154 In addition, any shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new
1155 location.
1156 .It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1157 Controls whether the file system should be mounted with
1158 .Sy nbmand
1159 .Pq Non Blocking mandatory locks .
1160 This is used for SMB clients.
1161 Changes to this property only take effect when the file system is umounted and
1162 remounted.
1163 See
1164 .Xr mount 1M
1165 for more information on
1166 .Sy nbmand
1167 mounts.
1168 .It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1169 Controls what is cached in the primary cache
1170 .Pq ARC .
1171 If this property is set to
1172 .Sy all ,
1173 then both user data and metadata is cached.
1174 If this property is set to
1175 .Sy none ,
1176 then neither user data nor metadata is cached.
1177 If this property is set to
1178 .Sy metadata ,
1179 then only metadata is cached.
1180 The default value is
1181 .Sy all .
1182 .It Sy quota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1183 Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume.
1184 This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used.
1185 This includes all space consumed by descendents, including file systems and
1186 snapshots.
1187 Setting a quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not
1188 override the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1189 .Pp
1190 Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1191 .Sy volsize
1192 property acts as an implicit quota.
1193 .It Sy snapshot_limit Ns = Ns Em count Ns | Ns Sy none
1194 Limits the number of snapshots that can be created on a dataset and its
1195 descendents.
1196 Setting a
1197 .Sy snapshot_limit
1198 on a descendent of a dataset that already has a
1199 .Sy snapshot_limit
1200 does not override the ancestor's
1201 .Sy snapshot_limit ,
1202 but rather imposes an additional limit.
1203 The limit is not enforced if the user is allowed to change the limit.
1204 For example, this means that recursive snapshots taken from the global zone are
1205 counted against each delegated dataset within a zone.
1206 This feature must be enabled to be used
1207 .Po see
1208 .Xr zpool-features 5
1209 .Pc .
1210 .It Sy userquota@ Ns Em user Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1211 Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user.
1212 User space consumption is identified by the
1213 .Sy userspace@ Ns Em user
1214 property.
1215 .Pp
1216 Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds.
1217 This delay means that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices
1218 that they are over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1219 .Er EDQUOT
1220 error message.
1221 See the
1222 .Nm zfs Cm userspace
1223 subcommand for more information.
1224 .Pp
1225 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage.
1226 The root user, or a user who has been granted the
1227 .Sy userquota
1228 privilege with
1229 .Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1230 can get and set everyone's quota.
1231 .Pp
1232 This property is not available on volumes, on file systems before version 4, or
1233 on pools before version 15.
1234 The

1265 Group space consumption is identified by the
1266 .Sy groupused@ Ns Em group
1267 property.
1268 .Pp
1269 Unprivileged users can access only their own groups' space usage.
1270 The root user, or a user who has been granted the
1271 .Sy groupquota
1272 privilege with
1273 .Nm zfs Cm allow ,
1274 can get and set all groups' quotas.
1275 .It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1276 Controls whether this dataset can be modified.
1277 The default value is
1278 .Sy off .
1279 .Pp
1280 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1281 .Sy rdonly .
1282 .It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Em size
1283 Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system.
1284 This property is designed solely for use with database workloads that access
1285 files in fixed-size records.
1286 ZFS automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized
1287 for typical access patterns.
1288 .Pp
1289 For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1290 chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal.
1291 Specifying a
1292 .Sy recordsize
1293 greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1294 significant performance gains.
1295 Use of this property for general purpose file systems is strongly discouraged,
1296 and may adversely affect performance.
1297 .Pp
1298 The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1299 than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
1300 If the
1301 .Sy large_blocks
1302 feature is enabled on the pool, the size may be up to 1 Mbyte.
1303 See
1304 .Xr zpool-features 5
1305 for details on ZFS feature flags.
1306 .Pp
1307 Changing the file system's
1308 .Sy recordsize
1309 affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1310 .Pp
1311 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1312 .Sy recsize .
1313 .It Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy most
1314 Controls what types of metadata are stored redundantly.
1315 ZFS stores an extra copy of metadata, so that if a single block is corrupted,
1316 the amount of user data lost is limited.
1317 This extra copy is in addition to any redundancy provided at the pool level
1318 .Pq e.g. by mirroring or RAID-Z ,
1319 and is in addition to an extra copy specified by the
1320 .Sy copies
1321 property
1322 .Pq up to a total of 3 copies .
1323 For example if the pool is mirrored,
1324 .Sy copies Ns = Ns 2 ,
1325 and
1326 .Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Sy most ,
1327 then ZFS stores 6 copies of most metadata, and 4 copies of data and some
1328 metadata.
1329 .Pp
1330 When set to
1331 .Sy all ,
1332 ZFS stores an extra copy of all metadata.
1333 If a single on-disk block is corrupt, at worst a single block of user data
1334 .Po which is
1335 .Sy recordsize
1336 bytes long
1337 .Pc
1338 can be lost.
1339 .Pp
1340 When set to
1341 .Sy most ,
1342 ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of metadata.
1343 This can improve performance of random writes, because less metadata must be
1344 written.
1345 In practice, at worst about 100 blocks
1346 .Po of
1347 .Sy recordsize
1348 bytes each
1349 .Pc
1350 of user data can be lost if a single on-disk block is corrupt.
1351 The exact behavior of which metadata blocks are stored redundantly may change in
1352 future releases.
1353 .Pp
1354 The default value is
1355 .Sy all .
1356 .It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1357 Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume.
1358 This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used.
1359 This hard limit does not include space used by descendents, including file
1360 systems and snapshots.
1361 .It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy auto
1362 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1363 descendents.
1364 When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if
1365 it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1366 .Sy refreservation .
1367 The
1368 .Sy refreservation
1369 reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1370 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1371 .Pp
1372 If
1373 .Sy refreservation
1374 is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside of
1375 this reservation to accommodate the current number of
1376 .Qq referenced
1377 bytes in the dataset.
1378 .Pp
1379 If
1380 .Sy refreservation
1381 is set to
1382 .Sy auto ,
1383 a volume is thick provisioned
1384 .Po or
1385 .Qq not sparse
1386 .Pc .
1387 .Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Sy auto
1388 is only supported on volumes.

1394 .Pp
1395 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1396 .Sy refreserv .
1397 .It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Em size Ns | Ns Sy none
1398 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendants.
1399 When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if
1400 it were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation.
1401 Reservations are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count
1402 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1403 .Pp
1404 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1405 .Sy reserv .
1406 .It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Sy all Ns | Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy metadata
1407 Controls what is cached in the secondary cache
1408 .Pq L2ARC .
1409 If this property is set to
1410 .Sy all ,
1411 then both user data and metadata is cached.
1412 If this property is set to
1413 .Sy none ,
1414 then neither user data nor metadata is cached.
1415 If this property is set to
1416 .Sy metadata ,
1417 then only metadata is cached.
1418 The default value is
1419 .Sy all .
1420 .It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1421 Controls whether the setuid bit is respected for the file system.
1422 The default value is
1423 .Sy on .
1424 .It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1425 Controls whether the file system is shared via SMB, and what options are to be
1426 used.
1427 A file system with the
1428 .Sy sharesmb
1429 property set to
1430 .Sy off
1431 is managed through traditional tools such as
1432 .Xr sharemgr 1M .
1433 Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1434 .Nm zfs Cm share
1435 and
1436 .Nm zfs Cm unshare
1437 commands.
1438 If the property is set to
1439 .Sy on ,
1440 the
1441 .Xr sharemgr 1M
1442 command is invoked with no options.
1443 Otherwise, the
1444 .Xr sharemgr 1M
1445 command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1446 .Pp
1447 Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is
1448 constructed from the dataset name.
1449 The constructed name is a copy of the dataset name except that the characters in
1450 the dataset name, which would be invalid in the resource name, are replaced with
1451 underscore
1452 .Pq Sy _
1453 characters.
1454 A pseudo property
1455 .Qq name
1456 is also supported that allows you to replace the data set name with a specified
1457 name.
1458 The specified name is then used to replace the prefix dataset in the case of
1459 inheritance.
1460 For example, if the dataset
1461 .Em data/home/john
1462 is set to
1463 .Sy name Ns = Ns Sy john ,
1464 then
1465 .Em data/home/john
1466 has a resource name of
1467 .Sy john .
1468 If a child dataset
1469 .Em data/home/john/backups
1470 is shared, it has a resource name of
1471 .Sy john_backups .
1472 .Pp
1473 When SMB shares are created, the SMB share name appears as an entry in the
1474 .Pa .zfs/shares
1475 directory.
1476 You can use the
1477 .Nm ls
1478 or
1479 .Nm chmod
1480 command to display the share-level ACLs on the entries in this directory.
1481 .Pp
1482 When the
1483 .Sy sharesmb
1484 property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1485 property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1486 set to
1487 .Sy off ,
1488 or if they were shared before the property was changed.
1489 If the new property is set to
1490 .Sy off ,
1491 the file systems are unshared.
1492 .It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off Ns | Ns Em opts
1493 Controls whether the file system is shared via NFS, and what options are to be
1494 used.
1495 A file system with a
1496 .Sy sharenfs
1497 property of
1498 .Sy off
1499 is managed through traditional tools such as
1500 .Xr share 1M ,
1501 .Xr unshare 1M ,
1502 and
1503 .Xr dfstab 4 .
1504 Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1505 .Nm zfs Cm share
1506 and
1507 .Nm zfs Cm unshare
1508 commands.
1509 If the property is set to
1510 .Sy on ,
1511 .Xr share 1M
1512 command is invoked with no options.
1513 Otherwise, the
1514 .Xr share 1M
1515 command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
1516 .Pp
1517 When the
1518 .Sy sharenfs
1519 property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the
1520 property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously
1521 .Sy off ,
1522 or if they were shared before the property was changed.
1523 If the new property is
1524 .Sy off ,
1525 the file systems are unshared.
1526 .It Sy logbias Ns = Ns Sy latency Ns | Ns Sy throughput
1527 Provide a hint to ZFS about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
1528 If
1529 .Sy logbias
1530 is set to
1531 .Sy latency
1532 .Pq the default ,
1533 ZFS will use pool log devices
1534 .Pq if configured
1535 to handle the requests at low latency.
1536 If
1537 .Sy logbias
1538 is set to
1539 .Sy throughput ,
1540 ZFS will not use configured pool log devices.
1541 ZFS will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1542 efficient use of resources.
1543 .It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Sy hidden Ns | Ns Sy visible
1544 Controls whether the
1545 .Pa .zfs
1546 directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1547 the
1548 .Sx Snapshots
1549 section.
1550 The default value is
1551 .Sy hidden .
1552 .It Sy sync Ns = Ns Sy standard Ns | Ns Sy always Ns | Ns Sy disabled
1553 Controls the behavior of synchronous requests
1554 .Pq e.g. fsync, O_DSYNC .
1555 .Sy standard
1556 is the
1557 .Tn POSIX
1558 specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are written to stable
1559 storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not cached by device
1560 controllers
1561 .Pq this is the default .
1562 .Sy always
1563 causes every file system transaction to be written and flushed before its
1564 system call returns.
1565 This has a large performance penalty.
1566 .Sy disabled
1567 disables synchronous requests.
1568 File system transactions are only committed to stable storage periodically.
1569 This option will give the highest performance.
1570 However, it is very dangerous as ZFS would be ignoring the synchronous
1571 transaction demands of applications such as databases or NFS.
1572 Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1573 .It Sy version Ns = Ns Em N Ns | Ns Sy current
1574 The on-disk version of this file system, which is independent of the pool
1575 version.
1576 This property can only be set to later supported versions.
1577 See the
1578 .Nm zfs Cm upgrade
1579 command.
1580 .It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Em size
1581 For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume.
1582 By default, creating a volume establishes a reservation of equal size.
1583 For storage pools with a version number of 9 or higher, a
1584 .Sy refreservation
1585 is set instead.
1586 Any changes to
1587 .Sy volsize
1588 are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation
1589 .Po or
1590 .Sy refreservation
1591 .Pc .
1592 The
1593 .Sy volsize
1594 can only be set to a multiple of
1595 .Sy volblocksize ,
1596 and cannot be zero.
1597 .Pp
1598 The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent unexpected
1599 behavior for consumers.
1600 Without the reservation, the volume could run out of space, resulting in
1601 undefined behavior or data corruption, depending on how the volume is used.
1602 These effects can also occur when the volume size is changed while it is in use
1603 .Pq particularly when shrinking the size .
1604 Extreme care should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1605 .Pp
1606 Though not recommended, a
1607 .Qq sparse volume
1608 .Po also known as
1609 .Qq thin provisioned
1610 .Pc
1611 can be created by specifying the
1612 .Fl s
1613 option to the
1614 .Nm zfs Cm create Fl V
1615 command, or by changing the value of the
1616 .Sy refreservation
1617 property
1618 .Po or
1619 .Sy reservation
1620 property on pool version 8 or earlier
1621 .Pc
1622 after the volume has been created.
1623 A
1624 .Qq sparse volume
1625 is a volume where the value of
1626 .Sy refreservation
1627 is less than the size of the volume plus the space required to store its
1628 metadata.
1629 Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1630 .Er ENOSPC
1631 when the pool is low on space.
1632 For a sparse volume, changes to
1633 .Sy volsize
1634 are not reflected in the
1635 .Sy refreservation.
1636 A volume that is not sparse is said to be
1637 .Qq thick provisioned .
1638 A sparse volume can become thick provisioned by setting
1639 .Sy refreservation
1640 to
1641 .Sy auto .
1642 .It Sy vscan Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1643 Controls whether regular files should be scanned for viruses when a file is
1644 opened and closed.
1645 In addition to enabling this property, the virus scan service must also be
1646 enabled for virus scanning to occur.
1647 The default value is
1648 .Sy off .
1649 .It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1650 Controls whether extended attributes are enabled for this file system.
1651 The default value is
1652 .Sy on .
1653 .It Sy zoned Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1654 Controls whether the dataset is managed from a non-global zone.
1655 See the
1656 .Sx Zones
1657 section for more information.
1658 The default value is
1659 .Sy off .
1660 .El
1661 .Pp
1662 The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1663 created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created.
1664 If the properties are not set with the
1665 .Nm zfs Cm create
1666 or
1667 .Nm zpool Cm create
1668 commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset.
1669 If the parent dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to
1670 these features being supported, the new file system will have the default values
1671 for these properties.
1672 .Bl -tag -width ""
1673 .It Xo
1674 .Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Sy sensitive Ns | Ns
1675 .Sy insensitive Ns | Ns Sy mixed
1676 .Xc
1677 Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system
1678 should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both
1679 styles of matching.
1680 The default value for the
1681 .Sy casesensitivity
1682 property is
1683 .Sy sensitive .
1684 Traditionally,
1685 .Ux
1686 and
1687 .Tn POSIX
1688 file systems have case-sensitive file names.
1689 .Pp
1690 The
1691 .Sy mixed
1692 value for the
1693 .Sy casesensitivity
1694 property indicates that the file system can support requests for both
1695 case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching behavior.
1696 Currently, case-insensitive matching behavior on a file system that supports
1697 mixed behavior is limited to the SMB server product.
1698 For more information about the
1699 .Sy mixed
1700 value behavior, see the "ZFS Administration Guide".
1701 .It Xo
1702 .Sy normalization Ns = Ns Sy none Ns | Ns Sy formC Ns | Ns
1703 .Sy formD Ns | Ns Sy formKC Ns | Ns Sy formKD
1704 .Xc
1705 Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1706 .Sy unicode
1707 normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1708 normalization algorithm should be used.
1709 File names are always stored unmodified, names are normalized as part of any
1710 comparison process.
1711 If this property is set to a legal value other than
1712 .Sy none ,
1713 and the
1714 .Sy utf8only
1715 property was left unspecified, the
1716 .Sy utf8only
1717 property is automatically set to
1718 .Sy on .
1719 The default value of the
1720 .Sy normalization
1721 property is
1722 .Sy none .
1723 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1724 .It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
1725 Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1726 characters that are not present in the
1727 .Sy UTF-8
1728 character code set.
1729 If this property is explicitly set to
1730 .Sy off ,
1731 the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
1732 .Sy none .
1733 The default value for the
1734 .Sy utf8only
1735 property is
1736 .Sy off .
1737 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1738 .El
1739 .Pp
1740 The
1741 .Sy casesensitivity ,
1742 .Sy normalization ,
1743 and
1744 .Sy utf8only
1745 properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged users
1746 by using the ZFS delegated administration feature.
1747 .Ss "Temporary Mount Point Properties"
1748 When a file system is mounted, either through
1749 .Xr mount 1M
1750 for legacy mounts or the
1751 .Nm zfs Cm mount
1752 command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1753 properties.
1754 The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1755 .Bd -literal
1756 PROPERTY MOUNT OPTION
1757 devices devices/nodevices
1758 exec exec/noexec
1759 readonly ro/rw
1760 setuid setuid/nosetuid
1761 xattr xattr/noxattr
1762 .Ed
1763 .Pp
1764 In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1765 .Fl o
1766 option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk.
1767 The values specified on the command line override the values stored in the
1768 dataset.
1769 The
1770 .Sy nosuid
1771 option is an alias for
1772 .Sy nodevices Ns \&, Ns Sy nosetuid .
1773 These properties are reported as
1774 .Qq temporary
1775 by the
1776 .Nm zfs Cm get
1777 command.
1778 If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new setting
1779 overrides any temporary settings.
1780 .Ss "User Properties"
1781 In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user
1782 properties.
1783 User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or
1784 administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1785 .Pq file systems, volumes, and snapshots .
1786 .Pp
1787 User property names must contain a colon
1788 .Pq Qq Sy \&:
1789 character to distinguish them from native properties.
1790 They may contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation
1791 characters: colon
1792 .Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
1793 dash
1794 .Pq Qq Sy - ,
1795 period
1796 .Pq Qq Sy \&. ,
1797 and underscore
1798 .Pq Qq Sy _ .
1799 The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1800 such as
1801 .Em module Ns \&: Ns Em property ,
1802 but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS.
1803 User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1804 .Pq Qq Sy - .
1805 .Pp
1806 When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use
1807 a reversed
1808 .Sy DNS
1809 domain name for the
1810 .Em module
1811 component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1812 independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1813 purposes.
1814 .Pp
1815 The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1816 are never validated.
1817 All of the commands that operate on properties
1818 .Po Nm zfs Cm list ,
1819 .Nm zfs Cm get ,
1820 .Nm zfs Cm set ,
1821 and so forth
1822 .Pc
1823 can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties.
1824 Use the
1825 .Nm zfs Cm inherit
1826 command to clear a user property.
1827 If the property is not defined in any parent dataset, it is removed entirely.
1828 Property values are limited to 8192 bytes.
1829 .Ss ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices
1830 During an initial installation a swap device and dump device are created on ZFS
1831 volumes in the ZFS root pool.
1832 By default, the swap area size is based on 1/2 the size of physical memory up to
1833 2 Gbytes.
1834 The size of the dump device depends on the kernel's requirements at installation
1835 time.
1836 Separate ZFS volumes must be used for the swap area and dump devices.
1837 Do not swap to a file on a ZFS file system.
1838 A ZFS swap file configuration is not supported.
1839 .Pp
1840 If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is

2765 When received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones
2766 are preserved.
