    DESCRIPTION

    The zfs command configures ZFS datasets within a ZFS storage pool, as described in zpool(1M). A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace. For example:

    pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot}
    

    where the maximum length of a dataset name is MAXNAMELEN (256 bytes).

    A dataset can be one of the following:

    file system

    A ZFS dataset of type "filesystem" that can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file systems. While ZFS file systems are designed to be POSIX 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.

    volume

    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. Volumes cannot be used in a non-global zone.

    snapshot

    A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is specified as filesystem@name or volume@name.

     

    ZFS File System Hierarchy

    A ZFS storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the ZFS file system hierarchy.

    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 zpool(1M) command.

    See zpool(1M) for more information on creating and administering pools.  

    Snapshots

    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.

    Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.

    File system snapshots can be accessed under the ".zfs/snapshot" 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 ".zfs" directory can be controlled by the "snapdir" property.  

    Clones

    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.

    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 "origin" property exposes this dependency, and the destroy command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.

    The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the "promote" 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.  

    Mount Points

    Creating a ZFS file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems per system is likely to be numerous. To cope with this, ZFS automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to edit the /etc/vfstab file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by ZFS at boot time.

    By default, file systems are mounted under /path, where path is the name of the file system in the ZFS namespace. Directories are created and destroyed as needed.

    A file system can also have a mount point set in the "mountpoint" property. This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the file system when the "zfs mount -a" command is invoked (without editing /etc/vfstab). The mountpoint property can be inherited, so if pool/home has a mount point of /export/stuff, then pool/home/user automatically inherits a mount point of /export/stuff/user.

    A file system mountpoint property of "none" prevents the file system from being mounted.

    If needed, ZFS file systems can also be managed with traditional tools (mount, umount, /etc/vfstab). If a file system's mount point is set to "legacy", ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.  

    Zones

    A ZFS file system can be added to a non-global zone by using zonecfg's "add fs" subcommand. A ZFS file system that is added to a non-global zone must have its mountpoint property set to legacy.

    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.

    A dataset can also be delegated to a non-global zone by using zonecfg's "add dataset" 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 "quota" property is controlled by the global administrator.

    A ZFS volume can be added as a device to a non-global zone by using zonecfg's "add device" subcommand. However, its physical properties can only be modified by the global administrator.

    For more information about zonecfg syntax, see zonecfg(1M).

    After a dataset is delegated to a non-global zone, the "zoned" 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.

    The global administrator can forcibly clear the "zoned" 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.  

    Native Properties

    Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user defined properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or control ZFS behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User properties have no effect on ZFS 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.

    Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset as well as control various behavior. Properties are inherited from the parent unless overridden by the child. Some properties only apply to certain types of datasets (file systems, volumes or snapshots).

    The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes (for example, "k", "KB", "M", "Gb", etc, up to Z for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:

    "1536M", "1.5g", "1.50GB".
    

    The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase, except for "mountpoint", "sharenfs" and "sharesmb".

    The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the dataset. These properties cannot be set, nor are they inherited. Native properties apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.

    available

    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, "avail".

    compressratio

    The compression ratio achieved for this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. Compression can be turned on by running "zfs set compression=on dataset". The default value is "off".

    creation

    The time this dataset was created.

    mounted

    For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This property can be either "yes" or "no".

    origin

    For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was created. The origin cannot be destroyed (even with the -r or -f options) so long as a clone exists.

    referenced

    The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it was created from, since its contents are identical.

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "refer".

    type

    The type of dataset: "filesystem", "volume", "snapshot", or "clone".

    used

    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.

    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.

    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 fsync(3c) or O_SYNC does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated immediately.

    usedby*

    The usedby* snapshots decompose the "used" properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically, used = usedbychildren + usedbydataset + usedbyrefreservation +, usedbysnapshots. These properties are only available for datasets created on zpool "version 13" pools.

    usedbychildren

    The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if all the dataset's children were destroyed.

    usedbydataset

    The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the dataset were destroyed (after first removing any refreservation and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).

    usedbyrefreservation

    The amount of space used by a refreservation set on this dataset, which would be freed if the refreservation was removed.

    usedbysnapshots

    The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots' "used" properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots

    volblocksize=blocksize

    For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The blocksize cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at volume creation time. The default blocksize for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "volblock".

    The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a ZFS dataset.

    aclinherit=discard | noallow | restricted | passthrough | passthrough-x

    Controls how ACL entries are inherited when files and directories are created. A file system with an "aclinherit" property of "discard" does not inherit any ACL entries. A file system with an "aclinherit" property value of "noallow" only inherits inheritable ACL entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value "restricted" (the default) removes the "write_acl" and "write_owner" permissions when the ACL entry is inherited. A file system with an "aclinherit" property value of "passthrough" inherits all inheritable ACL entries without any modifications made to the ACL entries when they are inherited. A file system with an "aclinherit" property value of "passthrough-x" has the same meaning as "passthrough", except that the owner@, group@, and everyone@ ACEs inherit the execute permission only if the file creation mode also requests the execute bit.

    When the property value is set to "passthrough," files are created with a mode determined by the inheritable ACEs. If no inheritable ACEs exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in accordance to the requested mode from the application.

    aclmode=discard | groupmask | passthrough

    Controls how an ACL is modified during chmod(2). A file system with an "aclmode" property of "discard" deletes all ACL entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An "aclmode" property of "groupmask" (the default) reduces user or group permissions. The permissions are reduced, such that they are no greater than the group permission bits, unless it is a user entry that has the same UID as the owner of the file or directory. In this case, the ACL permissions are reduced so that they are no greater than owner permission bits. A file system with an "aclmode" property of "passthrough" indicates that no changes are made to the ACL other than generating the necessary ACL entries to represent the new mode of the file or directory.

    atime=on | off

    Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read. Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers and other similar utilities. The default value is "on".

    canmount=on | off | noauto

    If this property is set to "off", the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by "zfs mount -a". Setting this property to "off" is similar to setting the "mountpoint" property to "none", except that the dataset still has a normal "mountpoint" property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to "off" allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One example of setting canmount=off is to have two datasets with the same mountpoint, so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might have different inherited characteristics.

    When the "noauto" option is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported, nor is it mounted by the "zfs mount -a" command or unmounted by the "zfs unmount -a" command.

    This property is not inherited.

    checksum=on | off | fletcher2, | fletcher4 | sha256

    Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is "on", which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently, fletcher2, but this may change in future releases). The value "off" disables integrity checking on user data. Disabling checksums is NOT a recommended practice.

    compression=on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip-N

    Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The "lzjb" compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data compression. Setting compression to "on" uses the "lzjb" compression algorithm. The "gzip" compression algorithm uses the same compression as the gzip(1) command. You can specify the "gzip" level by using the value "gzip-N" where N is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently, "gzip" is equivalent to "gzip-6" (which is also the default for gzip(1)).

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name "compress".

    copies=1 | 2 | 3

    Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or raid-z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the "used" property and counting against quotas and reservations.

    Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this property at file system creation time by using the "-o copies=" option.

    devices=on | off

    Controls whether device nodes can be opened on this file system. The default value is "on".

    exec=on | off

    Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The default value is "on".

    mountpoint=path | none | legacy

    Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the "Mount Points" section for more information on how this property is used.

    When the mountpoint property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is "legacy", then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the new location if the property was previously "legacy" or "none", or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.

    nbmand=on | off

    Controls whether the file system should be mounted with "nbmand" (Non Blocking mandatory locks). This is used for CIFS clients. Changes to this property only take effect when the file system is umounted and remounted. See mount(1M) for more information on "nbmand" mounts.

    primarycache=all | none | metadata

    Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to "all", then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to "none", then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to "metadata", then only metadata is cached. The default value is "all".

    quota=size | none

    Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.

    Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the "volsize" property acts as an implicit quota.

    readonly=on | off

    Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is "off".

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "rdonly".

    recordsize=size

    Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size records. ZFS automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for typical access patterns.

    For databases that create very large files but access them in small random chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a "recordsize" greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.

    The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less than or equal to 128 Kbytes.

    Changing the file system's recordsize only affects files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "recsize".

    refquota=size | none

    Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.

    refreservation=size | none

    The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by refreservation. The refreservation reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.

    If refreservation is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in the dataset.

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "refreserv".

    reservation=size | none

    The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.

    This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name, "reserv".

    secondarycache=all | none | metadata

    Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set to "all", then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to "none", then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to "metadata", then only metadata is cached. The default value is "all".

    setuid=on | off

    Controls whether the set-UID bit is respected for the file system. The default value is "on".

    shareiscsi=on | off

    Like the "sharenfs" property, "shareiscsi" indicates whether a ZFS volume is exported as an iSCSI target. The acceptable values for this property are "on", "off", and "type=disk". The default value is "off". In the future, other target types might be supported. For example, "tape".

    You might want to set "shareiscsi=on" for a file system so that all ZFS volumes within the file system are shared by default. Setting this property on a file system has no direct effect, however.

    sharesmb=on | off | opts

    Controls whether the file system is shared by using the Solaris CIFS service, and what options are to be used. A file system with the "sharesmb" property set to "off" is managed through traditional tools such as sharemgr(1M). Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the "zfs share" and "zfs unshare" commands. If the property is set to "on", the sharemgr(1M) command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the sharemgr(1M) command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.

    Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is constructed from the dataset name. The constructed name is a copy of the dataset name except that the characters in the dataset name, which would be illegal in the resource name, are replaced with underscore (_) 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 "data/home/john" is set to "name=john", then "data/home/john" has a resource name of "john". If a child dataset of "data/home/john/backups", it has a resource name of "john_backups".

    When the "sharesmb" property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously set to "off", or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is set to "off", the file systems are unshared.

    sharenfs=on | off | opts

    Controls whether the file system is shared via NFS, and what options are used. A file system with a"sharenfs" property of "off" is managed through traditional tools such as share(1M), unshare(1M), and dfstab(4). Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the "zfs share" and "zfs unshare" commands. If the property is set to "on", the share(1M) command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the share(1M) command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.

    When the "sharenfs" property is changed for a dataset, the dataset and any children inheriting the property are re-shared with the new options, only if the property was previously "off", or if they were shared before the property was changed. If the new property is "off", the file systems are unshared.

    snapdir=hidden | visible

    Controls whether the ".zfs" directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in the "Snapshots" section. The default value is "hidden".

    version=1|2|current

    The on-disk version of this file system, which is independent of the pool version. This property can only be set to later supported versions. See "zfs upgrade".

    volsize=size

    For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a version number of 9 or higher, a refreservation is set instead. Any changes to volsize are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or refreservation). The volsize can only be set to a multiple of volblocksize, and cannot be zero.

    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 on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care should be used when adjusting the volume size.

    Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning") can be created by specifying the -s option to the "zfs create -V" command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A "sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size. Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with ENOSPC when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to volsize are not reflected in the reservation.

    vscan=on|off

    Controls whether regular files should be scanned for viruses when a file is opened and closed. In addition to enabling this property, the virus scan service must also be enabled for virus scanning to occur. The default value is "off".

    xattr=on | off

    Controls whether extended attributes are enabled for this file system. The default value is "on".

    zoned=on | off

    Controls whether the dataset is managed from a non-global zone. See the "Zones" section for more information. The default value is "off".

    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 "zfs create" or "zpool create" commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent 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 these properties.

    casesensitivity = sensitive | insensitive | mixed

    Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both styles of matching. The default value for the "casesensitivity" property is "sensitive." Traditionally, UNIX and POSIX file systems have case-sensitive file names.

    The "mixed" value for the "casesensitivity" property indicates that the file system can support requests for both case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching behavior. Currently, case-insensitive matching behavior on a file system that supports mixed behavior is limited to the Solaris CIFS server product. For more information about the "mixed" value behavior, see the ZFS Administration Guide.

    normalization =none | formD | formKCf

    Indicates whether the file system should perform a unicode normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this property is set to a legal value other than "none," and the "utf8only" property was left unspecified, the "utf8only" property is automatically set to "on." The default value of the "normalization" property is "none." This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.

    utf8only =on | off

    Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include characters that are not present in the UTF-8 character code set. If this property is explicitly set to "off," the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to "none." The default value for the "utf8only" property is "off." This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.

    The "casesensitivity," "normalization," and "utf8only" properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged users by using the ZFS delegated administration feature.  

    Temporary Mount Point Properties

    When a file system is mounted, either through mount(1M) for legacy mounts or the "zfs mount" command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:

        PROPERTY                MOUNT OPTION
        devices                 devices/nodevices
        exec                    exec/noexec
        readonly                ro/rw
        setuid                  setuid/nosetuid
        xattr                   xattr/noxattr
    

    In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the -o 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 -nosuid option is an alias for "nodevices,nosetuid". These properties are reported as "temporary" by the "zfs get" command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new setting overrides any temporary settings.  

    User Properties

    In addition to the standard native properties, ZFS supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on ZFS behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets (file systems, volumes, and snapshots).

    User property names must contain a colon (":") character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon (":"), dash ("-"), period ("."), and underscore ("_"). The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions such as "module:property", but this namespace is not enforced by ZFS. User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash ("-").

    When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to use a reversed DNS domain name for the module 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 "com.sun." are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.

    The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties ("zfs list", "zfs get", "zfs set", etc.) can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the "zfs inherit" 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.  

    ZFS Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices

    During an initial installation or a live upgrade from a UFS file system, a swap device and dump device are created on ZFS volumes in the ZFS 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 ZFS volumes must be used for the swap area and dump devices. Do not swap to a file on a ZFS file system. A ZFS swap file configuration is not supported.

    If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is installed or upgraded, use the swap(1M) and dumpadm(1M) commands. If you need to change the size of your swap area or dump device, see the Solaris ZFS Administration Guide.  

    SUBCOMMANDS

    All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their original form.

    zfs ?

    Displays a help message.

    zfs create [-p] [-o property=value] ... filesystem

    Creates a new ZFS file system. The file system is automatically mounted according to the "mountpoint" property inherited from the parent.

    -p

    Creates all the non-existing parent datasets. Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the "mountpoint" property inherited from their parent. Any property specified on the command line using the -o option is ignored. If the target filesystem already exists, the operation completes successfully.

    -o property=value

    Sets the specified property as if "zfs set property=value" was invoked at the same time the dataset was created. Any editable ZFS property can also be set at creation time. Multiple -o options can be specified. An error results if the same property is specified in multiple -o options.

    zfs create [-ps] [-b blocksize] [-o property=value] ... -V size volume

    Creates a volume of the given size. The volume is exported as a block device in /dev/zvol/{dsk,rdsk}/path, where path is the name of the volume in the ZFS namespace. The size represents the logical size as exported by the device. By default, a reservation of equal size is created.

    size is automatically rounded up to the nearest 128 Kbytes to ensure that the volume has an integral number of blocks regardless of blocksize.

    -p

    Creates all the non-existing parent datasets. Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the "mountpoint" property inherited from their parent. Any property specified on the command line using the -o option is ignored. If the target filesystem already exists, the operation completes successfully.

    -s

    Creates a sparse volume with no reservation. See "volsize" in the Native Properties section for more information about sparse volumes.

    -o property=value

    Sets the specified property as if "zfs set property=value" was invoked at the same time the dataset was created. Any editable ZFS property can also be set at creation time. Multiple -o options can be specified. An error results if the same property is specified in multiple -o options.

    -b blocksize

    Equivalent to "-o volblocksize=blocksize". If this option is specified in conjunction with "-o volblocksize", the resulting behavior is undefined.

    zfs destroy [-rRf] filesystem|volume|snapshot

    Destroys the given dataset. By default, the command unshares any file systems that are currently shared, unmounts any file systems that are currently mounted, and refuses to destroy a dataset that has active dependents (children, snapshots, clones).

    -r

    Recursively destroy all children. If a snapshot is specified, destroy all snapshots with this name in descendent file systems.

    -R

    Recursively destroy all dependents, including cloned file systems outside the target hierarchy. If a snapshot is specified, destroy all snapshots with this name in descendent file systems.

    -f

    Force an unmount of any file systems using the "unmount -f" command. This option has no effect on non-file systems or unmounted file systems.

    Extreme care should be taken when applying either the -r or the -f options, as they can destroy large portions of a pool and cause unexpected behavior for mounted file systems in use.

    zfs snapshot [-r] [-o property=value] ... filesystem@snapname|volume@snapname

    Creates a snapshot with the given name. See the "Snapshots" section for details.

    -r

    Recursively create snapshots of all descendent datasets. Snapshots are taken atomically, so that all recursive snapshots correspond to the same moment in time.

    -o property=value

    Sets the specified property; see "zfs create" for details.

    zfs rollback [-rRf] snapshot

    Roll back the given dataset to a previous snapshot. When a dataset is rolled back, all data that has changed since the snapshot is discarded, and the dataset reverts to the state at the time of the snapshot. By default, the command refuses to roll back to a snapshot other than the most recent one. In order to do so, all intermediate snapshots must be destroyed by specifying the -r option.

    -r

    Recursively destroy any snapshots more recent than the one specified.

    -R

    Recursively destroy any more recent snapshots, as well as any clones of those snapshots.

    -f

    Used with the -R option to force an unmount of any clone file systems that are to be destroyed.

    zfs clone [-p] [-o property=value] ... snapshot filesystem|volume

    Creates a clone of the given snapshot. See the "Clones" section for details. The target dataset can be located anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, and is created as the same type as the original.

    -p

    Creates all the non-existing parent datasets. Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the "mountpoint" property inherited from their parent. If the target filesystem or volume already exists, the operation completes successfully.

    -o property=value

    Sets the specified property; see "zfs create" for details.

    zfs promote clone-filesystem

    Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its "origin" snapshot. This makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was created from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so that the "origin" file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.

    The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the "origin" file system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting snapshot names of its own. The "rename" subcommand can be used to rename any conflicting snapshots.

    zfs rename filesystem|volume|snapshot
    filesystem|volume|snapshot
    zfs rename [-p] filesystem|volume filesystem|volume

    Renames the given dataset. The new target can be located anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, with the exception of snapshots. Snapshots can only be renamed within the parent file system or volume. When renaming a snapshot, the parent file system of the snapshot does not need to be specified as part of the second argument. Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they are unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.

    -p

    Creates all the non-existing parent datasets. Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the "mountpoint" property inherited from their parent.

    zfs rename -r snapshot snapshot

    Recursively rename the snapshots of all descendent datasets. Snapshots are the only dataset that can be renamed recursively.

    zfs list [-rH] [-o property[,...]] [ -t type[,...]]
    [ -s property ] ... [ -S property ] ... [filesystem|volume|snapshot] ...

    Lists the property information for the given datasets in tabular form. If specified, you can list property information by the absolute pathname or the relative pathname. By default, all datasets are displayed and contain the following fields:

    name,used,available,referenced,mountpoint
    

    -H

    Used for scripting mode. Do not print headers and separate fields by a single tab instead of arbitrary whitespace.

    -r

    Recursively display any children of the dataset on the command line.

    -o property

    A comma-separated list of properties to display. The property must be:
    o one of the properties described in the "Native Properties" section.
    o a user property.
    o the value "name" to display the dataset name.
    o the value "space" to display space usage properties on file systems and volumes. This is a shortcut for "-o name,avail,used,usedsnap,usedds, usedrefreserv,usedchild -t filesystem,volume".

    -s property

    A property to use for sorting the output by column in ascending order based on the value of the property. The property must be one of the properties described in the "Properties" section, or the special value "name" to sort by the dataset name. Multiple properties can be specified at one time using multiple -s property options. Multiple -s options are evaluated from left to right in decreasing order of importance.

    The following is a list of sorting criteria:

    o Numeric types sort in numeric order.
    o String types sort in alphabetical order.
    o Types inappropriate for a row sort that row to the literal bottom, regardless of the specified ordering.
    o If no sorting options are specified the existing behavior of "zfs list" is preserved.

    -S property

    Same as the -s option, but sorts by property in descending order.

    -t type

    A comma-separated list of types to display, where "type" is one of "filesystem", "snapshot" or "volume". For example, specifying "-t snapshot" displays only snapshots.

    zfs set property=value filesystem|volume|snapshot ...

    Sets the property to the given value for each dataset. Only some properties can be edited. See the "Properties" section for more information on what properties can be set and acceptable values. Numeric values can be specified as exact values, or in a human-readable form with a suffix of "B", "K", "M", "G", "T", "P", "E", "Z" (for bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, or zettabytes, respectively). Properties cannot be set on snapshots.

    zfs get [-rHp] [-o field[,...] [-s source[,...] "all" | property[,...] filesystem|volume|snapshot ...

    Displays properties for the given datasets. If no datasets are specified, then the command displays properties for all datasets on the system. For each property, the following columns are displayed:

        name      Dataset name
        property  Property name
        value     Property value
        source    Property source. Can either be local, default,
                  temporary, inherited, or none (-).
    

    All columns are displayed by default, though this can be controlled by using the -o option. This command takes a comma-separated list of properties as described in the "Native Properties" and "User Properties" sections.

    The special value "all" can be used to display all properties that apply to the given dataset's type (filesystem, volume or snapshot).

    -r

    Recursively display properties for any children.

    -H

    Display output in a form more easily parsed by scripts. Any headers are omitted, and fields are explicitly separated by a single tab instead of an arbitrary amount of space.

    -o field

    A comma-separated list of columns to display. "name,property,value,source" is the default value.

    -s source

    A comma-separated list of sources to display. Those properties coming from a source other than those in this list are ignored. Each source must be one of the following: "local,default,inherited,temporary,none". The default value is all sources.

    -p

    Display numbers in parsable (exact) values.

    zfs inherit [-r] property filesystem|volume|snapshot ...

    Clears the specified property, causing it to be inherited from an ancestor. If no ancestor has the property set, then the default value is used. See the "Properties" section for a listing of default values, and details on which properties can be inherited.

    -r

    Recursively inherit the given property for all children.

    zfs upgrade [-v]

    Displays a list of file systems that are not the most recent version.

    zfs upgrade [-r] [-V version] [-a | filesystem]

    Upgrades file systems to a new on-disk version. Once this is done, the file systems will no longer be accessible on systems running older versions of the software. "zfs send" streams generated from new snapshots of these file systems can not be accessed on systems running older versions of the software.

    The file system version is independent of the pool version (see zpool(1M) for information on the "zpool upgrade" command).

    The file system version does not have to be upgraded when the pool version is upgraded, and vice versa.

    -a

    Upgrade all file systems on all imported pools.

    filesystem

    Upgrade the specified file system.

    -r

    Upgrade the specified file system and all descendent file systems

    -V version

    Upgrade to the specified version. If the -V flag is not specified, this command upgrades to the most recent version. This option can only be used to increase the version number, and only up to the most recent version supported by this software.

    zfs mount

    Displays all ZFS file systems currently mounted.

    zfs mount [-vO] [-o options] -a | filesystem

    Mounts ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the boot process.

    -o options

    An optional comma-separated list of mount options to use temporarily for the duration of the mount. See the "Temporary Mount Point Properties" section for details.

    -O

    Perform an overlay mount. See mount(1M) for more information.

    -v

    Report mount progress.

    -a

    Mount all available ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the boot process.

    filesystem

    Mount the specified filesystem.

    zfs unmount [-f] -a | filesystem|mountpoint

    Unmounts currently mounted ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the shutdown process.

    -f

    Forcefully unmount the file system, even if it is currently in use.

    -a

    Unmount all available ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the boot process.

    filesystem|mountpoint

    Unmount the specified filesystem. The command can also be given a path to a ZFS file system mount point on the system.

    zfs share -a | filesystem

    Shares available ZFS file systems.

    -a

    Share all available ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the boot process.

    filesystem

    Share the specified filesystem according to the "sharenfs" and "sharesmb" properties. File systems are shared when the "sharenfs" or "sharesmb" property is set.

    zfs unshare -a | filesystem|mountpoint

    Unshares currently shared ZFS file systems. This is invoked automatically as part of the shutdown process.

    -a

    Unshare all available ZFS file systems. Invoked automatically as part of the boot process.

    filesystem|mountpoint

    Unshare the specified filesystem. The command can also be given a path to a ZFS file system shared on the system.

    zfs send [-vR] [-[iI] snapshot] snapshot

    Creates a stream representation of the second snapshot, which is written to standard output. The output can be redirected to a file or to a different system (for example, using ssh(1). By default, a full stream is generated.

    -i snapshot

    Generate an incremental stream from the first snapshot to the second snapshot. The incremental source (the first snapshot) can be specified as the last component of the snapshot name (for example, the part after the "@"), and it is assumed to be from the same file system as the second snapshot.

    If the destination is a clone, the source may be the origin snapshot, which must be fully specified (for example, "pool/fs@origin", not just "@origin").

    -I snapshot

    Generate a stream package that sends all intermediary snapshots from the first snapshot to the second snapshot. For example, "-I @a fs@d" is similar to "-i @a fs@b; -i @b fs@c; -i @c fs@d". The incremental source snapshot may be specified as with the -i option.

    -R

    Generate a replication stream package, which will replicate the specified filesystem, and all descendant file systems, up to the named snapshot. When received, all properties, snapshots, descendent file systems, and clones are preserved.

    If the -i or -I flags are used in conjunction with the -R flag, an incremental replication stream is generated. The current values of properties, and current snapshot and file system names are set when the stream is received. If the -F flag is specified when this stream is recieved, snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side are destroyed.

    -v

    Print verbose information about the stream package generated.

    The format of the stream is evolving. No backwards compatibility is guaranteed. You may not be able to receive your streams on future versions of ZFS.

    zfs receive [-vnF] filesystem|volume|snapshot
    zfs receive [-vnF] -d filesystem

    Creates a snapshot whose contents are as specified in the stream provided on standard input. If a full stream is received, then a new file system is created as well. Streams are created using the "zfs send" subcommand, which by default creates a full stream. "zfs recv" can be used as an alias for "zfs receive".

    If an incremental stream is received, then the destination file system must already exist, and its most recent snapshot must match the incremental stream's source. For zvols, the destination device link is destroyed and re-created, which means the zvol cannot be accessed during the receive operation.

    The name of the snapshot (and file system, if a full stream is received) that this subcommand creates depends on the argument type and the -d option.

    If the argument is a snapshot name, the specified snapshot is created. If the argument is a file system or volume name, a snapshot with the same name as the sent snapshot is created within the specified filesystem or volume. If the -d option is specified, the snapshot name is determined by appending the sent snapshot's name to the specified filesystem. If the -d option is specified, any required file systems within the specified one are created.

    -d

    Use the name of the sent snapshot to determine the name of the new snapshot as described in the paragraph above.

    -v

    Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the receive operation.

    -n

    Do not actually receive the stream. This can be useful in conjunction with the -v option to verify the name the receive operation would use.

    -F

    Force a rollback of the file system to the most recent snapshot before performing the receive operation. If receiving an incremental replication stream (for example, one generated by "zfs send -R -[iI]"), destroy snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side.

    zfs allow [-ldug] "everyone"|user|group[,...] perm|@setname[,...] filesystem| volume
    zfs allow [-ld] -e perm|@setname[,...] filesystem|volume

    Delegates ZFS administration permission for the file systems to non-privileged users.

    [-ug] "everyone"|user|group[,...]

    Specifies to whom the permissions are delegated. Multiple entities can be specified as a comma-separated list. If neither of the -ug options are specified, then the argument is interpreted preferentially as the keyword "everyone", then as a user name, and lastly as a group name. To specify a user or group named "everyone", use the -u or -g options. To specify a group with the same name as a user, use the -g options.

    [-e] perm|@setname[,...]

    Specifies that the permissions be delegated to "everyone." Multiple permissions may be specified as a comma-separated list. Permission names are the same as ZFS subcommand and property names. See the property list below. Property set names, which begin with an "at sign" ("@") , may be specified. See the -s form below for details.

    [-ld] filesystem|volume

    Specifies where the permissions are delegated. If neither of the -ld options are specified, or both are, then the permissions are allowed for the file system or volume, and all of its descendents. If only the -l option is used, then is allowed "locally" only for the specified file system. If only the -d option is used, then is allowed only for the descendent file systems.

    Permissions are generally the ability to use a ZFS subcommand or change a ZFS property. The following permissions are available:

    NAME         TYPE         NOTES
    allow        subcommand   Must also have the permission
                              that is being allowed.
    clone        subcommand   Must also have the 'create' ability
                              and the 'mount' ability in the origin 
                              file system.
    create       subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability.
    destroy      subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability.     
    mount        subcommand   Allows mount, unmount, and
                              create/remove zvol device links.
    promote      subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability and
                              'promote' ability in the origin file system.    
    receive      subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability and 
                              the 'create' ability.     
    rename       subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability and
                              the 'create' ability in the new parent.
    rollback     subcommand   Must also have the 'mount' ability.

    zfs allow -c perm|@setname[,...] filesystem|volume

    Sets "create time" permissions. These permissions are granted (locally) to the creator of any newly-created descendent file system.

    zfs allow -s @setname perm|@setname[,...] filesystem|volume

    Defines or adds permissions to a permission set. The set can be used by other zfs allow commands for the specified file system and its descendents. Sets are evaluated dynamically, so changes to a set are immediately reflected. Permission sets follow the same naming restrictions as ZFS file systems, but the name must begin with an "at sign" ("@"), and can be no more than 64 characters long.

    zfs unallow [-rldug] "everyone"|user|group[,...] [perm|@setname[, ...]] filesystem|volume
    zfs unallow [-rld] -e [perm|@setname [,...]] filesystem|volume
    zfs unallow [-r] -c [perm|@setname[,...]]
    filesystem|volume

    Removes permissions that were granted with the "zfs allow" command. No permissions are explicitly denied, so other permissions granted are still in effect. For example, if the permission is granted by an ancestor. If no permissions are specified, then all permissions for the specified user, group, or everyone are removed. Specifying "everyone" (or using the -e option) only removes the permissions that were granted to "everyone", not all permissions for every user and group. See the "zfs allow" command for a description of the -ldugec options.

    -r

    Recursively remove the permissions from this file system and all descendents.

    zfs unallow [-r] -s @setname [perm|@setname[,...]]
    filesystem|volume

    Removes permissions from a permission set. If no permissions are specified, then all permissions are removed, thus removing the set entirely.

     

    EXAMPLES

    Example 1 Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy

    The following commands create a file system named "pool/home" and a file system named "pool/home/bob". The mount point "/export/home" is set for the parent file system, and automatically inherited by the child file system.

    # zfs create pool/home
    # zfs set mountpoint=/export/home pool/home
    # zfs create pool/home/bob
    

    Example 2 Creating a ZFS Snapshot

    The following command creates a snapshot named "yesterday". This snapshot is mounted on demand in the ".zfs/snapshot" directory at the root of the "pool/home/bob" file system.

    # zfs snapshot pool/home/bob@yesterday
    

    Example 3 Taking and destroying multiple snapshots

    The following command creates snapshots named "yesterday" of "pool/home" and all of its descendent file systems. Each snapshot is mounted on demand in the ".zfs/snapshot" directory at the root of its file system. The second command destroys the newly created snapshots.

    # zfs snapshot -r pool/home@yesterday
    # zfs destroy -r pool/home@yesterday
    

    Example 4 Turning Off Compression

    The following commands turn compression off for all file systems under "pool/home", but explicitly turns it on for "pool/home/anne".

    # zfs set compression=off pool/home
    # zfs set compression=on pool/home/anne
    

    Example 5 Listing ZFS Datasets

    The following command lists all active file systems and volumes in the system.

    # zfs list
    
    
      NAME                      USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT

    The following command gets a single property value.

    # zfs get -H -o value compression pool/home/bob
    on
    

    The following command lists all properties with local settings for "pool/home/bob".

    # zfs get -r -s local -o name,property,value all pool/home/bob
    
      NAME             PROPERTY      VALUE
      pool             compression   on
      pool/home        checksum      off
    

    Example 8 Rolling Back a ZFS File System

    The following command reverts the contents of "pool/home/anne" to the snapshot named "yesterday", deleting all intermediate snapshots.

    # zfs rollback -r pool/home/anne@yesterday
    

    Example 9 Creating a ZFS Clone

    The following command creates a writable file system whose initial contents are the same as "pool/home/bob@yesterday".

    # zfs clone pool/home/bob@yesterday pool/clone
    

    Example 10 Promoting a ZFS Clone

    The following commands illustrate how to test out changes to a file system, and then replace the original file system with the changed one, using clones, clone promotion, and renaming:

    # zfs create pool/project/production
     populate /pool/project/production with data
    # zfs snapshot pool/project/production@today
    # zfs clone pool/project/production@today pool/project/beta
     make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
    # zfs promote pool/project/beta
    # zfs rename pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
    # zfs rename pool/project/beta pool/project/production
     once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be
     destroyed
    # zfs destroy pool/project/legacy
    

    Example 11 Inheriting ZFS Properties

    The following command causes "pool/home/bob" and "pool/home/anne" to inherit the "checksum" property from their parent.

    # zfs inherit checksum pool/home/bob pool/home/anne
    

    Example 12 Remotely Replicating ZFS Data

    The following commands send a full stream and then an incremental stream to a remote machine, restoring them into "poolB/received/fs@a" and "poolB/received/fs@b", respectively. "poolB" must contain the file system "poolB/received", and must not initially contain "poolB/received/fs".

    # zfs send pool/fs@a | \
      ssh host zfs receive poolB/received/fs@a
    # zfs send -i a pool/fs@b | ssh host \
      zfs receive poolB/received/fs
    

    Example 13 Using the zfs receive -d Option

    The following command sends a full stream of "poolA/fsA/fsB@snap" to a remote machine, receiving it into "poolB/received/fsA/fsB@snap". The "fsA/fsB@snap" portion of the received snapshot's name is determined from the name of the sent snapshot. "poolB" must contain the file system "poolB/received". If "poolB/received/fsA" does not exist, it is be created as an empty file system.

    # zfs send poolA/fsA/fsB@snap | \
      ssh host zfs receive -d poolB/received
    

    Example 14 Setting User Properties

    The following example sets the user defined "com.example:department" property for a dataset.

    # zfs set com.example:department=12345 tank/accounting
    

    Example 15 Creating a ZFS Volume as a iSCSI Target Device

    The following example shows how to create a ZFS volume as an iSCSI target.

    # zfs create -V 2g pool/volumes/vol1
    # zfs set shareiscsi=on pool/volumes/vol1
    # iscsitadm list target
    Target: pool/volumes/vol1
    iSCSI Name: 
    iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:7b4b02a6-3277-eb1b-e686-a24762c52a8c
    Connections: 0
    

    After the iSCSI target is created, set up the iSCSI initiator. For more information about the Solaris iSCSI initiator, see the Solaris Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems.

    Example 16 Performing a Rolling Snapshot

    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:

    # zfs destroy -r pool/users@7daysago
    # zfs rename -r pool/users@6daysago @7daysago
    # zfs rename -r pool/users@5daysago @6daysago
    ...
    # zfs rename -r pool/users@yesterday @2daysago
    # zfs rename -r pool/users@today @yesterday
    # zfs snapshot -r pool/users@today
    

    Example 17 Setting sharenfs Property Options on a ZFS File System

    The following commands show how to set "sharenfs" property options to enable rw access for a set of IP addresses and to enable root access for system neo on the tank/home file system.

    # zfs set sharenfs='[email protected]/16,root=neo' tank/home
    
    

    If you are using DNS for host name resolution, specify the fully qualified hostname.

    Example 18 Delegating ZFS Administration Permissions on a ZFS Dataset

    The following example shows how to set permissions so that user "cindys" can create, destroy, mount and take snapshots on tank/cindys. The permissions on tank/cindys are also displayed.

    # zfs allow cindys create,destroy,mount,snapshot tank/cindys
    # zfs allow tank/cindys
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Local+Descendent permissions on (tank/cindys)
             user cindys create,destroy,mount,snapshot
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    
    

    Because the tank/cindys mount point permission is set to 755 by default, user cindys will be unable to mount file systems under tank/cindys. Set an ACL similar to the following syntax to provide mount point access:

    # chmod A+user:cindys:add_subdirectory:allow /tank/cindys
    

    Example 19 Delegating Create Time Permissions on a ZFS Dataset

    The following example shows how to grant anyone in the group staff to create file systems in tank/users. This syntax also allows staff members to destroy their own file systems, but not destroy anyone else's file system. The permissions on tank/users are also displayed.

    # zfs allow staff create,mount tank/users
    # zfs allow -c destroy tank/users
    # zfs allow tank/users
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Create time permissions on (tank/users)
             create,destroy
    Local+Descendent permissions on (tank/users)
             group staff create,mount
    ------------------------------------------------------------- 
    

    Example 20 Defining and Granting a Permission Set on a ZFS Dataset

    The following example shows how to define and grant a permission set on the tank/users file system. The permissions on tank/users are also displayed.

    # zfs allow -s @pset create,destroy,snapshot,mount tank/users
    # zfs allow staff @pset tank/users
    # zfs allow tank/users
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Permission sets on (tank/users)
           @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot
    Create time permissions on (tank/users)
           create,destroy
    Local+Descendent permissions on (tank/users)
           group staff @pset,create,mount
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    

    Example 21 Delegating Property Permissions on a ZFS Dataset

    The following example shows to grant the ability to set quotas and reservations on the users/home file system. The permissions on users/home are also displayed.

    # zfs allow cindys quota,reservation users/home
    # zfs allow users/home
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Local+Descendent permissions on (users/home)
           user cindys quota,reservation
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    cindys% zfs set quota=10G users/home/marks
    cindys% zfs get quota users/home/marks
    NAME              PROPERTY  VALUE             SOURCE
    users/home/marks  quota     10G               local 
    

    Example 22 Removing ZFS Delegated Permissions on a ZFS Dataset

    The following example shows how to remove the snapshot permission from the staff group on the tank/users file system. The permissions on tank/users are also displayed.

    # zfs unallow staff snapshot tank/users
    # zfs allow tank/users
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Permission sets on (tank/users)
           @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot
    Create time permissions on (tank/users)
           create,destroy
    Local+Descendent permissions on (tank/users)
           group staff @pset,create,mount
    -------------------------------------------------------------
