DESCRIPTION
The zpool command configures ZFS storage pools. A storage pool is a
collection of devices that provides physical storage and data replica‐
tion for ZFS datasets.
All datasets within a storage pool share the same space. See zfs(8) for
information on managing datasets.
Virtual Devices (vdevs)
A virtual device describes a single device or a collection of devices
organized according to certain performance and fault characteristics.
The following virtual devices are supported:
disk
A block device, typically located under /dev/dsk. ZFS can use indi‐
vidual slices or partitions, though the recommended mode of opera‐
tion is to use whole disks. A disk can be specified by a full path,
or it can be a shorthand name (the relative portion of the path
under /dev/dsk). A whole disk can be specified by omitting the
slice or partition designation. Alternatively, whole disks can be
specified using the /dev/chassis/.../disk path that describes the
disk's current location. When given a whole disk, ZFS automatically
labels the disk, if necessary.
file
A regular file. The use of files as a backing store is strongly
discouraged. It is designed primarily for experimental purposes, as
the fault tolerance of a file is only as good as the file system of
which it is a part. A file must be specified by a full path.
mirror
A mirror of two or more devices. Data is replicated in an identical
fashion across all components of a mirror. A mirror with N disks of
size X can hold X bytes and can withstand (N-1) devices failing
before data integrity is compromised.
raidz
raidz1
raidz2
raidz3
A variation on RAID-5 that allows for better distribution of parity
and eliminates the "RAID-5 write hole" (in which data and parity
become inconsistent after a power loss). Data and parity is striped
across all disks within a raidz group.
A raidz group can have single-, double-, or triple parity, meaning
that the raidz group can sustain one, two, or three failures,
respectively, without losing any data. The raidz1 vdev type speci‐
fies a single-parity raidz group; the raidz2 vdev type specifies a
double-parity raidz group; and the raidz3 vdev type specifies a
triple-parity raidz group. The raidz vdev type is an alias for
raidz1.
A raidz group with N disks of size X with P parity disks can hold
approximately (N-P)*X bytes and can withstand P device(s) failing
before data integrity is compromised. The minimum number of devices
in a raidz group is one more than the number of parity disks. The
recommended number is between 3 and 9 to help increase performance.
spare
A special pseudo-vdev which keeps track of available hot spares for
a pool. For more information, see the "Hot Spares" section.
log
A separate-intent log device. If more than one log device is speci‐
fied, then writes are load-balanced between devices. Log devices
can be mirrored. However, raidz vdev types are not supported for
the intent log. For more information, see the "Intent Log" section.
meta
A device used to optimize reads of certain types of ZFS metadata,
in particular, deduplication entries. If more than one meta device
is specified, operations will be load balanced between them. Meta
devices can be mirrored. However, raidz vdev types are not sup‐
ported. For more information, see the "Meta Devices" section.
cache
A device used to cache storage pool data. A cache device cannot be
configured as a mirror or raidz group. For more information, see
the "Cache Devices" section.
Virtual devices cannot be nested, so a mirror or raidz virtual device
can only contain files or disks. Mirrors of mirrors (or other combina‐
tions) are not allowed.
A pool can have any number of virtual devices at the top of the config‐
uration (known as top-level vdevs). Data is dynamically distributed
across all top-level devices to balance data among devices. As new vir‐
tual devices are added, ZFS automatically places data on the newly
available devices.
Virtual devices are specified one at a time on the command line, sepa‐
rated by whitespace. The keywords mirror and raidz are used to distin‐
guish where a group ends and another begins. For example, the following
creates two top-level vdevs, each a mirror of two disks:
# zpool create mypool mirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0 mirror c1t0d0 c1t1d0
Alternatively, the following command could be used:
# zpool create tank \
mirror \
/dev/chassis/RACK29.U01-04/DISK_00/disk \
/dev/chassis/RACK29.U05-08/DISK_00/disk \
mirror \
/dev/chassis/RACK29.U01-04/DISK_01/disk \
/dev/chassis/RACK29.U05-08/DISK_01/disk
Pool or Device Failure and Recovery
ZFS supports a rich set of mechanisms for handling device failure and
data corruption. All metadata and data is checksummed, and ZFS automat‐
ically repairs bad data from a good copy when corruption is detected.
In order to take advantage of these features, a pool must make use of
some form of redundancy, using either mirrored or raidz groups. While
ZFS supports running in a non-redundant configuration, where each top-
level vdev is simply a disk or file, this is strongly discouraged as a
single case of bit corruption can render some or all of your data
unavailable.
A pool's health status is described by one of these states:
DEGRADED
A pool with one or more failed devices, but the data is still
available due to a redundant configuration.
ONLINE
A pool that has all devices operating normally.
SUSPENDED
A pool that is waiting for device connectivity to be restored. A
suspended pool remains in the wait state until the device issue is
resolved.
UNAVAIL
A pool with corrupted metadata, or one or more unavailable devices
and insufficient replicas to continue functioning.
UNKNOWN
A pool is not imported and its actual status has not been verified.
This health status is used by zpool label command.
CLEARED
A pool has at least one device with ZFS metadata cleared by using
zpool label -C command. A cleared pool cannot be imported.
The health of the top-level vdev, such as mirror or raidz device, is
potentially impacted by the state of its associated vdevs, or component
devices. A top-level vdev or component device is in one of the follow‐
ing states:
DEGRADED
One or more top-level vdevs is in the degraded state because one or
more component devices are offline. Sufficient replicas exist to
continue functioning.
One or more component devices is in the degraded or faulted state,
but sufficient replicas exist to continue functioning. The underly‐
ing conditions are as follows:
o The number of checksum errors exceeds acceptable levels
and the device is degraded as an indication that some‐
thing may be wrong. ZFS continues to use the device as
necessary.
o The number of I/O errors exceeds acceptable levels. The
device could not be marked as faulted because there are
insufficient replicas to continue functioning.
OFFLINE
The device was explicitly taken offline by the zpool offline com‐
mand.
ONLINE
The device is online and functioning.
REMOVING
The top-level vdev is being removed through an explicit remove
request. As data on this vdev is migrated to the remaining data
devices in the pool, system performance may be impacted.
REMOVED
The device was physically removed while the system was running.
Device removal detection is hardware-dependent and may not be sup‐
ported on all platforms.
UNAVAIL
The device could not be opened. If a pool is imported when a device
was unavailable, then the device will be identified by a unique
identifier instead of its path since the path was never correct in
the first place.
UNKNOWN
The device is not currently active but its actual state has not
been verified. This state is used by zpool label command.
CLEARED
ZFS metadata on this device has been cleared by using the zpool
label -C command.
If a device is removed and later reattached to the system, ZFS attempts
to put the device online automatically. Device attach detection is
hardware-dependent and might not be supported on all platforms.
Hot Spares
ZFS allows devices to be associated with pools as hot spares. These
devices are not actively used in the pool, but when an active device
fails, it is automatically replaced by a hot spare. To create a pool
with hot spares, specify a spare vdev with any number of devices. For
example,
# zpool create pool mirror c0d0 c1d0 spare c2d0 c3d0
Spares can be added with the zpool add command and removed with the
zpool remove command. Once a spare replacement is initiated, a new
spare vdev is created within the configuration that will remain there
until the original device is replaced. At this point, the hot spare
becomes available again if another device fails.
An in-progress spare replacement can be cancelled by detaching the hot
spare. If the original faulted device is detached, then the hot spare
assumes its place in the configuration, and is removed from the spare
list of all active pools.
If the original failed device is physically replaced, brought back
online, or the errors are cleared, either through an FMA event or by
using the zpool online or zpool clear commands, and the state of the
original device becomes healthy, the INUSE spare device will become
AVAIL again.
Spares cannot replace log devices or meta devices.
Intent Log
The ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) satisfies POSIX requirements for synchronous
transactions. For instance, databases often require their transactions
to be on stable storage devices when returning from a system call. NFS
and other applications can also use fsync to ensure data stability. By
default, the intent log is allocated from blocks within the main pool.
However, it might be possible to get better performance using separate
intent log devices such as NVRAM or a dedicated disk. For example:
# zpool create pool c0d0 c1d0 log c2d0
Multiple log devices can also be specified, and they can be mirrored.
See the EXAMPLES section for an example of mirroring multiple log
devices.
Log devices can be added, replaced, attached, detached, and imported,
and exported as part of the larger pool. Mirrored log devices can be
removed by specifying the top-level mirror for the log.
Meta Devices
Devices can be added to a storage pool as meta devices. These devices
store copies of critical metadata which needs to be accessed in a non-
sequential manner. This functionality is especially useful for dedupli‐
cation entries. Since copies of the metadata are also written to the
main storage pool, I/O errors to this device can be recovered and this
device does not have to be mirrored.
To create a pool with meta devices, specify a meta vdev with any number
of devices. For example:
# zpool create pool c0d0 c1d0 meta c2d0 c3d0
Multiple meta devices can be specified, and they can be mirrored, but
they cannot be part of a raidz configuration.
Meta devices can be added, replaced, attached, detached, imported, and
exported as part of the larger pool.
Cache Devices
Devices can be added to a storage pool as cache devices. These devices
provide an additional layer of caching between main memory and disk.
For read-heavy workloads, where the working set size is much larger
than what can be cached in main memory, using cache devices allow much
more of this working set to be served from low latency media. Using
cache devices provides the greatest performance improvement for random
read-workloads of mostly static content.
To create a pool with cache devices, specify a cache vdev with any
number of devices. For example:
# zpool create pool c0d0 c1d0 cache c2d0 c3d0
Cache devices cannot be mirrored or part of a raidz configuration. If a
read error is encountered on a cache device, that read I/O is reissued
to the original storage pool device, which might be part of a mirrored
or raidz configuration.
The content of the cache devices is considered volatile, as is the case
with other system caches.
Processes
Each imported pool has an associated process, named zpool-poolname. The
threads in this process are the pool's I/O processing threads, which
handle the compression, checksumming, and other tasks for all I/O asso‐
ciated with the pool. This process exists to provides visibility into
the CPU utilization of the system's storage pools. The existence of
this process is an unstable interface.
Properties
Each pool has several properties associated with it. Some properties
are read-only statistics while others are configurable and change the
behavior of the pool. The following are read-only properties:
allocated
Amount of storage space within the pool that has been physically
allocated. This property can also be referred to by its shortened
column name, alloc.
capacity
Percentage of pool space used. This property can also be referred
to by its shortened column name, cap.
dedupratio
The deduplication ratio specified for a pool, expressed as a multi‐
plier. This value is expressed as a single decimal number. For
example, a dedupratio value of 1.76 indicates that 1.76 units of
data were stored but only 1 unit of disk space was actually con‐
sumed. This property can also be referred to by its shortened col‐
umn name, dedup.
Deduplication can be enabled as follows:
# zfs set dedup=on pool/dataset
The default value is off.
See zfs(8) for a description of the deduplication feature.
free
Number of blocks within the pool that are not allocated.
health
The current health of the pool. Health can be ONLINE, DEGRADED,
UNAVAIL, CLEARED, UNKNOWN, or SUSPENDED.
lastscrub=timestamp
The start time of the last successful scrub.
size
Total size of the storage pool.
These space usage properties report actual physical space available to
the storage pool. The physical space can be different from the total
amount of space that any contained datasets can actually use. The
amount of space used in a raidz configuration depends on the character‐
istics of the data being written. In addition, ZFS reserves some space
for internal accounting that the zfs(8) command takes into account, but
the zpool command does not. For non-full pools of a reasonable size,
these effects should be invisible. For small pools, or pools that are
close to being completely full, these discrepancies may become more
noticeable.
The following property can be set at creation time:
allocunit=value
This sets the allocation unit ZFS will use to read and write from
and to the vdev. In general this property should not need to be set
by hand. The value for 'allocunit' must be a power of 2 number
between 512 and 8192(8K). If an invalid or unsupported 'allocunit'
is specified (for example a smaller 'allocunit' than the logical
sectorsize of the device), an error will be returned.
Please note that the allocunit is used by zfs to do allocations and
that has a consequence that allocated blocks that zfs write and
read later will be aligned on this boundary. Overriding it manually
may have performance and/or space usage implications, so it should
not be done without a clear need for that.
The following property can be set at creation time and import time:
altroot
Alternate root directory. If set, this directory is prepended to
any mount points within the pool. This can be used when examining
an unknown pool where the mount points cannot be trusted, or in an
alternate boot environment, where the typical paths are not valid.
altroot is not a persistent property. It is valid only while the
system is up. Setting altroot defaults to using cachefile=none,
though this may be overridden using an explicit setting.
The following property can be set at import time:
readonly=on | off
Controls whether the pool can be modified. When enabled, any syn‐
chronous data that exists only in the intent log is not accessible
until the pool is imported in read-write mode.
Importing a pool in read-only mode has the following limitations:
o Attempts to set additional pool properties during the
import are ignored.
o All file system mounts are converted to include the
read-only (ro) mount option.
A pool that has been imported in read-only mode can be restored to
read-write mode by exporting and importing the pool.
The following property is set automatically when a pool is created. In
general this property should not need to be set by hand except in a
case where a pool has been cloned in some manner, resulting in the guid
value losing its uniqueness. It can be reset on an imported pool with
the zpool reguid command.
guid A unique identifier for the pool
The following properties can be set at creation time and import time,
and later changed with the zpool set command:
autoexpand=on | off
Controls automatic pool expansion when the underlying LUN is grown.
If set to on, the pool will be resized according to the size of the
expanded device. If the device is part of a mirror or raidz then
all devices within that mirror or raidz group must be expanded
before the new space is made available to the pool. The default
behavior is off. This property can also be referred to by its
shortened column name, expand.
Do not use the format command to get the new size of the LUN, and
to relabel it. The zpool will reflect the new size of the LUN auto‐
matically.
autoreplace=on | off
Controls automatic device replacement. If set to off, device
replacement must be initiated by the administrator by using the
zpool replace command. If set to on, any new device, found in the
same physical location as a device that previously belonged to the
pool, is automatically formatted and replaced. The default behavior
is off. This property can also be referred to by its shortened col‐
umn name, replace.
bootfs=pool/dataset
Identifies the default bootable dataset for the root pool. This
property is expected to be set mainly by the installation and
upgrade programs.
cachefile=path | none
Controls the location of where the pool configuration is cached.
Discovering all pools on system startup requires a cached copy of
the configuration data that is stored on the root file system. All
pools in this cache are automatically imported when the system
boots. Some environments, such as install and clustering, need to
cache this information in a different location so that pools are
not automatically imported. Setting this property caches the pool
configuration in a different location that can later be imported
with zpool import -c. Setting it to the special value none creates
a temporary pool that is never cached, and the special value ''
(empty string) uses the default location.
Multiple pools can share the same cache file. Because the kernel
destroys and re-creates this file when pools are added and removed,
care should be taken when attempting to access this file. When the
last pool using a cachefile is exported or destroyed, the file is
removed.
clustered=on | off
Controls whether a pool is imported as a global pool in Oracle
Solaris Cluster. This property can only be set at pool import time
on a system running Oracle Solaris Cluster. An attempt to set the
property will fail if the pool is already imported or if Oracle
Solaris Cluster is not installed and booted.
If this property is set to on, all file systems of the pool are
globally mounted and accessible from all nodes of the cluster. The
default behavior is off.
Currently there is a restriction on setting certain ZFS properties
while the file system is globally mounted. The properties mentioned
below are allowed to be set when the file system is not mounted or
locally mounted, but not when the file system is globally mounted.
Once set in those contexts, the properties will be functional after
a subsequent global remount:
atime
devices
exec
readonly
rstchown
setuid
xattr
sync
canmount
mountpoint
zoned
A ZFS file system must have its "zoned" property set to "off" for a
global mount to succeed. Attempts to set the "zoned" property of a
global mounted ZFS file system will fail.
Some of the above restrictions may be lifted in the future.
dedupditto=number
Sets a threshold for number of copies. If the reference count for a
deduplicated block goes above this threshold, another ditto copy of
the block is stored automatically. The default value is 0.
delegation=on | off
Controls whether a non-privileged user is granted access based on
the dataset permissions defined on the dataset. The default value
is on. See zfs(8) for more information on ZFS delegated administra‐
tion.
failmode=wait | continue | panic
Controls the system behavior in the event of catastrophic pool
failure. This condition is typically a result of a loss of connec‐
tivity to the underlying storage device(s) or a failure of all
devices within the pool. The behavior of such an event is deter‐
mined as follows:
wait
Blocks all I/O access to the pool until the device connectivity
is recovered and the errors are cleared. A pool remains in the
wait state until the device issue is resolved. This is the
default behavior.
continue
Returns EIO to any new write I/O requests but allows reads to
any of the remaining healthy devices. Any write requests that
have yet to be committed to disk would be blocked. This value
might still result in a panic if other pool issues occur at the
same time.
panic
Prints out a message to the console and generates a system
crash dump.
listshares=on | off
Controls whether share information in this pool is displayed with
the zfs list command. The default value is off.
listsnapshots=on | off
Controls whether information about snapshots associated with this
pool is output when zfs list is run without the -t option. The
default value is off. This property can also be referred to by its
shortened column name, listsnaps.
scrubinterval=manual | timeinterval
When scrubinterval is set to manual, scrub scheduling is disabled.
When scrubinterval is set to a time interval, a new scrub will be
initiated after the time specified by this property had passed
since the start of the last scrub, which had either completed suc‐
cessfully or been canceled explicitly via zpool scrub -s.
The following units are recognized: s (second, default), h (hour),
d (day), w (week, 7 days), m (month, 30 days) and y (year, 365
days); internally, these are stored as seconds in the property but
displayed s/h/d/w/m/y by "zfs get".
Only a single unit may be used, i.e. this is not allowed:
# zpool set scrubinterval=1w3d
Instead that should be expressed as 10d.
The default value is 1m.
version=version
The current on-disk version of the pool. This can be increased, but
never decreased. The preferred method of updating pools is with the
zpool upgrade command, though this property can be used when a spe‐
cific version is needed for backward compatibility. This property
can be any number between 1 and the current version reported by
zpool upgrade -v.
If the pool is a boot pool then this property can not be set with
the zpool set command.
Device status properties
For reasons such as debugging, the zpool subcommands like import and
status can report various device specific information using a -s
option. This section lists those device specific properties that are
currently supported and their descriptions. These properties are spe‐
cific to the context it is reported in, for example if 'checksum' prop‐
erty is reported against a vdev that is a number of checksum errors
detected specifically on that vdev
allocunit
Allocation unit used by a vdev or a disk(toplevel). The allocated
blocks that zfs write and read later will be aligned on this bound‐
ary.
Aliases: aunit
alloc
Total allocated space on a vdev or a disk.
free
Total allocatable space on a vdev or a disk.
pctfull
Percentage of allocated space on a vdev or a disk.
lsize
Logical sector size reported by a disk.
psize
Physical sector size reported by a disk.
checksum
Number of checksum errors detected by zfs.
Aliases: cksum
name
Name of the pool, a vdev or a disk.
read
Number of read errors detected by zfs.
state
State of the pool, a vdev or a disk. See 'Pool or Device Failure
and Recovery' for details about various states.
write
Number of write errors detected by zfs.
These properties are boolean, but only reported if it is active.
repair
Display whether a repair is currently running for a vdev or a disk.
Aliases: rpair
resilver
Display whether a resilver is currently running for a vdev or a
disk.
Aliases: rslvr
slow
Display whether a disk and a vdev marked as slow.
Subcommands
All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool
in their original form.
The zpool command provides subcommands to create and destroy storage
pools, add capacity to storage pools, and provide information about the
storage pools. The following subcommands are supported:
zpool -?
Displays a help message.
zpool help command | help | property property-name
Displays zpool command usage. You can display help for a specific
command or property. If you display help for a specific command or
property, the command syntax or available property values are dis‐
played. Using zpool help without any arguments displays a complete
list of zpool commands.
zpool help -l properties
Displays zpool property information, including whether the property
value is editable and their possible values. If you display help
for a specific subcommand or property, the command syntax or prop‐
erty value is displayed. Using zpool help without any arguments
displays a complete list of zpool subcommands.
zpool add [-f] [-o property=value] ... [-n [-l]] pool vdev ...
Adds the specified virtual devices to the given pool. The vdev
specification is described in the "Virtual Devices" section. The
behavior of the -f option, and the device checks performed are
described in the zpool create subcommand.
-f
Forces use of vdevs, even if they appear in use or specify a
conflicting replication level. Not all devices can be overrid‐
den in this manner.
-o property=value
Sets the specified property for all vdevs specified in a com‐
mand. Only 'allocunit' is supported at the moment.
-n
Displays the configuration that would be used without actually
adding the vdevs. The actual pool creation can still fail due
to insufficient privileges or device sharing.
-l
If possible, have -n display the configuration in current
/dev/chassis location form.
Do not add a disk that is currently configured as a quorum device
to a ZFS storage pool. After a disk is in the pool, that disk can
then be configured as a quorum device.
zpool attach [-f] pool device new_device
Attaches new_device to an existing zpool device. The existing
device cannot be part of a raidz configuration. If device is not
currently part of a mirrored configuration, device automatically
transforms into a two-way mirror of device and new_device. If
device is part of a two-way mirror, attaching new_device creates a
three-way mirror, and so on. In either case, new_device begins to
resilver immediately.
-f
Forces use of new_device, even if its appears to be in use. Not
all devices can be overridden in this manner.
zpool clear [-nF [-f]] pool [device] ...
Clears device errors in a pool. If no arguments are specified, all
device errors within the pool are cleared. If one or more devices
is specified, only those errors associated with the specified
device or devices are cleared.
-F
Initiates recovery mode for an unopenable pool. Attempts to
discard the last few transactions in the pool to return it to
an openable state. Not all damaged pools can be recovered by
using this option. If successful, the data from the discarded
transactions is irretrievably lost.
-n
Used in combination with the -F flag. Check whether discarding
transactions would make the pool openable, but do not actually
discard any transactions.
-f
This is a special pool recovery option that can be used if the
fmadm acquit or fmadm repair commands fail to clear a pool's
faults. If the system reboots, FMA replays the pool faults so
you will need to resolve the FMA faults after the pool is
recovered.
zpool create [-f] [-n [-l]] [-B] [-N] [-o property=value] ... [-O
file-system-property=value] ... [-m mountpoint] [-R root] pool vdev
...
Creates a new storage pool containing the virtual devices specified
on the command line. The pool name must begin with a letter, and
can contain alphanumeric characters, as well as underscore (_),
dash (-), colon (:), space ( ), and period (.). The pool names mir‐
ror, raidz, spare, and log, and meta are reserved, as are names
beginning with the pattern c[0-9]. The vdev specification is
described in the "Virtual Devices" section.
The command verifies that each device specified is accessible and
not currently in use by another subsystem. There are some uses,
such as being currently mounted, or specified as the dedicated dump
device, that prevents a device from ever being used by ZFS. Other
uses, such as having a preexisting UFS file system, can be overrid‐
den with the -f option.
The command also checks that the replication strategy for the pool
is consistent. An attempt to combine redundant and non-redundant
storage in a single pool, or to mix disks and files, results in an
error unless -f is specified. The use of differently sized devices
within a single raidz or mirror group is also flagged as an error
unless -f is specified.
Unless the -R option is specified, the default mount point is
/pool. The mount point must not exist or must be empty, or else the
root dataset cannot be mounted. This can be overridden with the -m
option.
-B
When operating on a whole disk device, creates the boot parti‐
tion, if one is required to boot from EFI (GPT) labeled disks
on the platform. The -B option has no effect on devices that
are not whole disks.
-N
Creates the pool without mounting or sharing the newly created
root file system of the pool.
-f
Forces use of vdevs, even if they appear in use or specify a
conflicting replication level. Not all devices can be overrid‐
den in this manner.
-l
If possible, have -n display the configuration in current
/dev/chassis location form.
-n
Displays the configuration that would be used without actually
creating the pool. The actual pool creation can still fail due
to insufficient privileges or if a device is currently in use.
-o property=value [-o property=value] ...
Sets the given pool properties. See the "Properties" section
for a list of valid properties that can be set.
-O file-system-property=value
[-O file-system-property=value] ...
Sets the given properties for the pool's top-level file system.
See the "Properties" section of zfs(8) for a list of valid
properties that can be set.
-R root
Equivalent to -o cachefile=none,altroot=root.
-m mountpoint
Sets the mount point for the pool's top-level file system. The
default mount point is /pool, or /altroot if altroot is speci‐
fied. The mount point must be an absolute path, legacy, or
none. For more information on dataset mount points, see zfs(8).
zpool destroy [-f] pool
Attempts to destroy a pool that is no longer required, and the pool
devices are no longer available or accessible to the system. The -f
option might be required. Then, use the zpool label command to
remove the destroyed pool information from the pool devices, if you
want to use the remaining pool devices again.
-f
Forces any active datasets contained within the pool to be
unmounted.
zpool detach pool device
Detaches a device or a spare from a mirrored storage pool. A spare
can also be detached from a RAID-Z storage pool if an existing
device was physically replaced. Or, you can detach an existing
device in a RAID-Z storage pool if it was replaced by a spare. The
operation is refused if there are no other valid replicas of the
data.
zpool export [-f] pool ...
Exports the given pools from the system. All devices are marked as
exported, but are still considered in use by other subsystems. The
devices can be moved between systems (even those of different endi‐
anness) and imported as long as a sufficient number of devices are
present.
Before exporting the pool, all datasets within the pool are
unmounted.
For pools to be portable, you must give the zpool command whole
disks, not just slices, so that ZFS can label the disks with porta‐
ble EFI labels. Otherwise, disk drivers on platforms of different
endianness will not recognize the disks.
-f
Forcibly unmount all datasets, using the unmount -f command.
This command will forcibly export the pool.
zpool get [-Hp] [-o all | field[,...]] [-s source[,...]] all |
property[,...] pool ...
Retrieves the given list of properties (or all properties if all is
used) for the specified storage pool(s).
See the "Properties" section for more information on the available
pool properties.
-H Scripted mode. Does not display headers and separates
fields by a single tab instead of arbitrary space.
-p Displays numbers in parseable (exact) values.
-o fields Comma-separated list of fields to display. By default,
the properties are displayed with the following
fields:
name Name of storage pool
property Property name
value Property value
source Property source, either 'default' or 'local'.
-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, none
The default value is all sources.
See the "Properties" section for more information on the available
pool properties.
zpool history [-il] [pool] ...
Displays the command history of the specified pools or all pools if
no pool is specified.
-i
Displays internally logged ZFS events in addition to user ini‐
tiated events.
-l
Displays log records in long format, which in addition to stan‐
dard format includes, the user name, the hostname, and the zone
in which the operation was performed.
zpool import [-d path ... | -c cachefile] [-D] [-l] [-S section[,...]]
[-s all | field[,...]]
Lists pools available to import. If the -d option is not specified,
this command searches for devices in /dev/dsk. The -d option can be
specified multiple times, and all directories and device paths are
searched. If the device appears to be part of an exported pool,
this command displays a summary of the pool with the name of the
pool, a numeric identifier, as well as the vdev layout and current
health of the device for each device or file. Pools that were pre‐
viously destroyed with the zpool destroy command, are not listed
unless the -D option is specified.
The numeric identifier is unique, and can be used instead of the
pool name when multiple exported pools of the same name are avail‐
able.
-c cachefile
Reads configuration from the given cachefile that was created
with the "cachefile" pool property. This cachefile is used
instead of searching for devices.
-d path
Searches for devices or files in path, where path can be a
directory or a device path. The -d option can be specified mul‐
tiple times.
-D
Lists destroyed or cleared pools only.
-l
If possible, display information in current /dev/chassis loca‐
tion form.
-s all | field[,...]]
A comma-separated list of device status property fields to dis‐
play. The list of status fields available are: name, state,
read, write, checksum, repair, resilver, slow, allocunit,
psize, lsize, alloc, free and pctfull. See 'Device status prop‐
erties' section for more details.
When used in combination with -S, 'config' section is implic‐
itly included in the sections displayed.
-S section[,...]]
A comma-separated list of sections to display. The list of sta‐
tus sections available are: pool, id, state, scan, config,
dedup, errors.
Without -S option all available sections will be displayed.
zpool import [-o mntopts] [ -o property= value] ... [-d path ... |
-c cachefile] [-D] [-f] [-m] [-N] [-R root] [-F [-n [-l]]] -a
Imports all pools found in the search directories or device paths.
Identical to the previous command, except that all pools with a
sufficient number of devices available are imported. Pools that
were previously destroyed with the zpool destroy command, are not
imported unless the -D option is specified.
-o mntopts
Comma-separated list of mount options to use when mounting
datasets within the pool. See zfs(8) for a description of
dataset properties and mount options.
-o property=value
Sets the specified property on the imported pool. See the
"Properties" section for more information on the available pool
properties.
-c cachefile
Reads configuration from the given cachefile that was created
with the "cachefile" pool property. This cachefile is used
instead of searching for devices.
-d path
Searches for devices or files in path. The -d option can be
specified multiple times. This option is incompatible with the
-c option.
-D
Imports destroyed pools only. The -f option is also required.
-f
Forces import, even if the pool appears to be potentially
active.
-F
Recovery mode for a non-importable pool. Attempt to return the
pool to an importable state by discarding the last few transac‐
tions. Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this
option. If successful, the data from the discarded transactions
is irretrievably lost. This option is ignored if the pool is
importable or already imported.
-a
Searches for and imports all pools found.
-m
Allows a pool to import when a log device is missing.
-R root
Sets the cachefile property to none and the altroot property to
root.
-N
Imports the pool without mounting or sharing any file systems.
-n
Used with the -F recovery option. Determines whether a non-
importable pool can be made importable again, but does not
actually perform the pool recovery. For more details about pool
recovery mode, see the -F option, above.
-l
If possible, have -n display information in current /dev/chas‐
sis location form.
zpool import [-d path ... |-c cachefile] [-D] [-F [-n]] <pool | id>
zpool import [-o mntopts] [ -o property= value] ... [-d path ... |
-c cachefile] [-D] [-f] [-m] [-N] [-R root] [-F [-n]] [-l] [-t tmp‐
pool] pool | id [newpool]
Imports a specific pool. A pool can be identified by its name or
the numeric identifier. If newpool is specified, the pool is
imported using the persistent name newpool. Otherwise, it is
imported with the same name as its exported name. Do not import a
root pool with a new name. Otherwise, the system might not boot.
If a device is removed from a system without running zpool export
first, the device appears as potentially active. It cannot be
determined if this was a failed export, or whether the device is
really in use from another host. To import a pool in this state,
the -f option is required.
-o mntopts
Comma-separated list of mount options to use when mounting
datasets within the pool. See zfs(8) for a description of
dataset properties and mount options.
-o property=value
Sets the specified property on the imported pool. See the
"Properties" section for more information on the available pool
properties.
-c cachefile
Reads configuration from the given cachefile that was created
with the cachefile pool property. This cachefile is used
instead of searching for devices.
-d path
Searches for devices or files in path. The -d option can be
specified multiple times. This option is incompatible with the
-c option.
-D
Imports destroyed pool. The -f option is also required.
-f
Forces import, even if the pool appears to be potentially
active.
-F
Recovery mode for a non-importable pool. Attempt to return the
pool to an importable state by discarding the last few transac‐
tions. Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this
option. If successful, the data from the discarded transactions
is irretrievably lost. This option is ignored if the pool is
importable or already imported.
-R root
Sets the cachefile property to none and the altroot property to
root.
-N
Imports the pool without mounting any file systems.
-n
Used with the -F recovery option. Determines whether a non-
importable pool can be made importable again, but does not
actually perform the pool recovery. For more details about pool
recovery mode, see the -F option, above.
-l
If possible, have -n display information in current /dev/chas‐
sis location form.
-m
Allows a pool to import when a log device is missing.
-t tmppool
Use the specified temporary pool name for the duration of this
import. Implies -o cachefile=none.
zpool iostat [-T d|u] [-v [-l]] [pool] ... [interval[ count]]
Displays I/O statistics for the given pools. When given an inter‐
val, the statistics are printed every interval seconds until Ctrl-C
is pressed. If no pools are specified, statistics for every pool in
the system is shown. If count is specified, the command exits after
count reports are printed.
-T d|u
Display a time stamp.
Specify d for standard date format. See date(1). Specify u for
a printed representation of the internal representation of
time. See time(2).
-v
Verbose statistics. Reports usage statistics for individual
vdevs within the pool, in addition to the pool-wide statistics.
-l
If possible, have -v display vdev statistics in current
/dev/chassis location form.
zpool label [-d path ... | -c cachefile] -C <pool | id> [device]
Clears ZFS pool metadata on a specified inactive pool to make its
device(s) available for use in new pools or by other filesystems.
A pool can be identified by its name or the numeric identifier. If
a device is specified, this command clears the pool's metadata
found only on the given device. If the -d option is not specified,
this command searches for devices in /dev/dsk directory.
-c cachefile Reads the configuration from the given cachefile
that was created with the cachefile pool property.
This cachefile is used instead of searching for
devices.
-d path Searches for devices or files in path. The -d
option can be specified multiple times. This option
is incompatible with the -c option.
zpool label -C <device>
Clears ZFS pool metadata on a specified device. A device must be
specified by using its full path and name. The device must not be a
part of an active pool, otherwise an error message is printed out.
zpool label [-d path ... | -c cachefile] -R <pool | id> [device]
This is an undo operation for the zpool label -C command. It recov‐
ers ZFS metadata for a specific pool and, if enough of the pool's
devices are restored this way, makes it possible to reimport the
pool. If a device is specified, it recovers metadata only on this
device.
A pool can be identified by its name or the numerical identifier.
If the -d option is not specified, this command searches for
devices in /dev/dsk directory. A device must be specified using its
full path and name.
-c cachefile Reads the configuration from the given cachefile
that was created with the cachefile pool property.
This cachefile is used instead of searching for
devices.
-d path Searches for devices or files in path, where path
can be a directory or a device path. The -d option
can be specified multiple times.
zpool label -R <device>
Recovers all recoverable ZFS pool metadata found on specified
device. A device must be specified using its full path and name.
The device must not be a part of an active pool, otherwise an error
message is printed out.
zpool list [-H] [-o props[,...]] [-T d|u] [pool] ...
Lists the given pools along with a health status and space usage.
When given no arguments, all pools in the system are listed.
When given an interval, the status and space usage are displayed
every interval seconds until Ctrl-C is entered. If count is speci‐
fied, the command exits after count reports are displayed.
-H
Scripted mode. Do not display headers, and separate fields by a
single tab instead of arbitrary space.
-o props
Comma-separated list of properties to display. See the "Proper‐
ties" section for a list of valid properties. The default list
is name, size, allocated, free, capacity, health, altroot.
-T d|u
Display a time stamp.
Specify d for standard date format. See date(1). Specify u for
a printed representation of the internal representation of
time. See time(2).
zpool monitor -t provider [-T d|u] [[-p] -o field[,...]] [pool] ...
[interval [count]]
Displays status or progress information for the given pools. If no
pool is entered, information for all pools is displayed. When given
an interval, the information is printed every interval seconds
until Ctrl-C is pressed. If count is specified, the command exits
after count reports are printed.
-o field[,. . .] Display only selected field(s).
-p Display using a stable machine-parseable for‐
mat. For more information, see 'Parseable Out‐
put Format', below.
-t provider Display data from the listed providers. Current
providers are send, receive (or recv), destroy,
scrub, and resilver. An up-to-date list of
providers is available from 'zpool help moni‐
tor'.
-T d|u Display a time stamp. Specify d for standard
date format. See date(1). Specify u for a
printed representation of the internal repre‐
sentation of time. See time(2).
zpool offline [-t] pool device ...
Takes the specified physical device offline. While the device is
offline, no attempt is made to read or write to the device.
This command is not applicable to cache devices.
-t
Temporary. Upon reboot, the specified physical device reverts
to its previous state.
zpool online [-e] pool device...
Brings the specified physical device online.
This command is not applicable to cache devices.
-e
Expand the device to use all available space. If the device is
part of a mirror or raidz then all devices must be expanded
before the new space will become available to the pool.
zpool reguid pool
Change the guid of a specified pool. The new guid will be generated
automatically. The command will fail if the pool or any of its
vdevs is not in state HEALTHY or if there are any outstanding FMA
faults.
zpool remove pool device ...
Begins the removal of specified device from the pool. This command
supports removing hot spares, cache, log, meta and non-redundant
data devices. A redundant log or data device can be removed by
specifying the top-level mirror or raidz. Data devices that are
part of a redundant configuration can be removed using the zpool
detach command. This command accepts a list of devices to be
removed. The list of devices need to be of same type, either data
devices or non-data devices, not a mix.
Removing a top-level data device migrates the data from the device
to be removed to the remaining data devices in the pool. The zpool
status command reports the progress of the remove operation until
the resilvering completes.
zpool remove -s pool
The inprogress top-level data device removing operation may be can‐
celled by zpool remove -s before its completion.
-s Cancel removing a top-level data device and returns the pool
to its original state.
zpool replace [-f] pool old_device [new_device]
Replaces old_device with new_device. This is equivalent to attach‐
ing new_device, waiting for it to resilver, and then detaching
old_device .
The size of new_device must be greater than or equal to the minimum
size of all the devices in a mirror or raidz configuration.
new_device is required if the pool is not redundant. If new_device
is not specified, it defaults to old_device. This form of replace‐
ment is useful after an existing disk has failed and has been phys‐
ically replaced. In this case, the new disk may have the same
/dev/dsk path as the old device, even though it is actually a dif‐
ferent disk. ZFS recognizes this.
In zpool status output, the old_device is shown under the word
replacing with the string /old appended to it. Once the resilver
completes, both the replacing and the old_device are automatically
removed. If the new device fails before the resilver completes and
a third device is installed in its place, then both failed devices
will show up with /old appended, and the resilver starts over
again. After the resilver completes, both /old devices are removed
along with the word replacing.
-f
Forces use of new_device, even if it appears to be in use. Not
all devices can be overridden in this manner.
zpool scrub [-s] pool ...
Begins a scrub. The scrub examines all data in the specified pools
to verify that it checksums correctly. For replicated (mirror or
raidz) devices, ZFS automatically repairs any damage discovered
during the scrub. The zpool status command reports the progress of
the scrub and summarizes the results of the scrub upon completion.
Scrubbing and resilvering are very similar operations. The differ‐
ence is that resilvering only examines data that ZFS knows to be
out of date (for example, when attaching a new device to a mirror
or replacing an existing device), whereas scrubbing examines all
data to discover silent errors due to hardware faults or disk fail‐
ure.
Because scrubbing and resilvering are I/O-intensive operations, ZFS
allows only one at a time. If a scrub is already in progress, a
subsequent zpool scrub returns an error, with the advice to use
zpool scrub -s to cancel the current scrub. If a resilver is in
progress, ZFS does not allow a scrub to be started until the resil‐
ver completes.
-s
Stop scrubbing.
zpool set property=value pool
Sets the given property on the specified pool. See the "Properties"
section for more information on what properties can be set and
acceptable values.
zpool split [-n [-l ]] [-R altroot] [-o mntopts] [-o property=value]
pool newpool [ device ...]
Splits off one disk from each mirrored top-level vdev in a pool and
creates a new pool from the split-off disks. The original pool must
be made up of one or more mirrors and must not be in the process of
resilvering. The split subcommand chooses the last device in each
mirror vdev unless overridden by a device specification on the com‐
mand line.
When using a device argument, split includes the specified
device(s) in a new pool and, should any devices remain unspecified,
assigns the last device in each mirror vdev to that pool, as it
does normally. If you are uncertain about the outcome of a split
command, use the -n ("dry-run") option to ensure your command will
have the effect you intend.
-n
Displays the configuration that would be created without actu‐
ally splitting the pool. The actual pool split could still fail
due to insufficient privileges or device status.
-l
If possible, have -n display the configuration in current
/dev/chassis location form.
-R altroot
Automatically import the newly created pool after splitting,
using the specified altroot parameter for the new pool's alter‐
nate root. See the altroot description in the "Properties" sec‐
tion, above.
-o mntopts
Comma-separated list of mount options to use when mounting
datasets within the pool. See zfs(8) for a description of
dataset properties and mount options. Valid only in conjunction
with the -R option.
-o property=value
Sets the specified property on the new pool. See the "Proper‐
ties" section, above, for more information on the available
pool properties.
zpool status [-s all | field[,...]] [-S section[,...]] [-l] [- v] [-x]
[-T d|u] [pool] ... [interval[count]]
Displays the detailed health status for the given pools. If no pool
is specified, then the status of each pool in the system is dis‐
played. For more information on pool and device health, see the
"Device Failure and Recovery" section.
When given an interval, the status and space usage are displayed
every interval seconds until Ctrl-C is entered. If count is speci‐
fied, the command exits after count reports are displayed.
If a scrub or resilver is in progress, this command reports the
percentage done and the estimated time to completion. Both of these
are only approximate, because the amount of data in the pool and
the other workloads on the system can change.
-s all | field[,...]]
A comma-separated list of device status property fields to dis‐
play. The list of status fields available are: name, state,
read, write, checksum, repair, resilver, slow, allocunit,
psize, lsize, alloc, free and pctfull. See 'Device status prop‐
erties' section for more details.
When used in combination with -S, 'config' section is implic‐
itly included in the sections displayed.
Without -s option, the default fields (name, state, read,
write, checksum) will be displayed.
-S section[,...]]
A comma-separated list of sections to display. The list of sta‐
tus sections available are: pool, id, state, scan, config,
dedup, errors.
Without -S option all available sections will be displayed.
-l
If possible, display vdev status in current /dev/chassis loca‐
tion form.
-x
Display status only for pools that are exhibiting errors or are
otherwise unavailable.
-v
Displays verbose data error information, printing out a com‐
plete list of all data errors since the last complete pool
scrub.
-T d|u
Display a time stamp.
Specify d for standard date format. See date(1). Specify u for
a printed representation of the internal representation of
time. See time(2).
zpool upgrade
Identifies a pool's on-disk version, which determines available
pool features in the currently running software release. You can
continue to use older pool versions, but some features might not be
available. A pool can be upgraded by using the zpool upgrade -a
command. You will not be able to access a pool of a later version
on a system that runs an earlier software version.
zpool upgrade -v
Displays ZFS pool versions supported by the current software. The
current ZFS pool versions and all previous supported versions are
displayed, along with an explanation of the features provided with
each version.
zpool upgrade [-n] [-V version [-f]] -a | pool ...
Upgrades the specified pool to the latest on-disk version. If this
command reveals that a pool is out-of-date, the pool can subse‐
quently be upgraded using the zpool upgrade -a command. A pool
that is upgraded will not be accessible on a system that runs an
earlier software release.
-a
Upgrades all pools.
-n
Report what would be done without actually upgrading any pools.
-f
Force the upgrade even if it makes more boot environments un-
bootable.
-V version
Upgrades to the specified version, which must be higher than
the current version. If the -V flag is not specified, the pool
is upgraded to the most recent version.
If a pool is bootable zpool upgrade will verify that the upgrade
will not make any more boot environments un-bootable. If it will
make more boot environments un-bootable those boot environments and
their current supported pool versions will be listed. To force
zpool upgrade to do the upgrade and make those boot environments
un-bootable the -V and -f flags must both be used. zpool upgrade
will never allow an upgrade to make the active boot environment un-
bootable.
If a bootable pool is listed or the -a flag is present and the pool
can be updated without making any more boot environments un-
bootable then the upgrade will be done unless the -n is given.
Display Fields
The fields are different for different providers. If a field is
selected that is not supported by a provider an error is returned.
DONE Amount of data completed or processed so far.
OTHER Provider dependent. Provides extra information such as the
current item being processed or the current state of the
task. For example, in a zfs send operation this value might
reflect the individual dataset or snapshot currently being
sent. The specific values reported as OTHER are not an
interface and may change without notice.
PCTDONE Percentage of data processed.
POOL Pool information was retrieved from.
PROVIDER Task providing the information. One of send, receive,
destroy, scrub, or resilver.
SPEED Units per second. Usually bytes, but is dependent on what
unit the data provider uses.
STRTTIME Time the provider started on the displayed task.
TAG A TAG disambiguates whole operations. It is unique at any
one time, but values can repeat in subsequent operations.
For instance, two simultaneous sends would have different
TAGs even if sending the same dataset.
TIMELEFT A relative time in which this task will be completed. It is
calculated off the rate of the data which is being pro‐
cessed.
TIMESTMP Time the monitored data snapshot was taken.
TOTAL Estimate of total amount of data to be processed.
Parseable Output Format
The "zpool monitor" command provides a -p option that displays output
in a machine-parsable format. The output format is one or more lines of
colon (:) delimited fields. Output includes only those fields requested
by means of the -o option, in the order requested. Note that the -o
all option, which displays all the fields cannot be used with parsable
output option.
When you request multiple fields, any literal colon characters are
escaped by a backslash (\) before being output. Similarly, literal
backslash characters are also escaped (\\). This escape format is
parseable by using shell read(1) functions with the environment vari‐
able set as IFS=:. Note that escaping is not done when you request only
a single field.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Creating a RAID-Z Storage Pool
The following command creates a pool with a single raidz top-level vdev
that consists of six disks.

The following command exports the devices in pool tank so that they can
be relocated or later imported.
# zpool export tank
Example 8 Importing a ZFS Storage Pool
The following command displays available pools, and then imports the
pool "tank" for use on the system.
The results from this command are similar to the following:
# zpool import
pool: tank
id: 7678868315469843843
state: ONLINE
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
config:
tank ONLINE
mirror-0 ONLINE
c1t2d0 ONLINE
c1t3d0 ONLINE
# zpool import tank
Example 9 Upgrading All ZFS Storage Pools to the Current Version
The following command upgrades all ZFS Storage pools to the current
version of the software.
# zpool upgrade -a
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 22.
All pools are formatted using this version.
Example 10 Managing Hot Spares
The following command creates a new pool with an available hot spare:
# zpool create tank mirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0 spare c0t2d0
If one of the disks were to fail, the pool would be reduced to the
degraded state. The failed device can be replaced using the following
command:
# zpool replace tank c0t0d0 c0t3d0
After the device has been resilvered, the spare is automatically
detached and is made available should another device fail. The hot
spare can be permanently removed from the pool using the following com‐
mand:
# zpool remove tank c0t2d0
Example 11 Creating a ZFS Pool with Separate Mirrored Log Devices
The following command creates a ZFS storage pool consisting of two,
two-way mirrors and mirrored log devices:
# zpool create pool mirror c0d0 c1d0 mirror c2d0 c3d0 log mirror \
c4d0 c5d0
Example 12 Adding Cache Devices to a ZFS Pool
The following command adds two disks for use as cache devices to a ZFS
storage pool:
# zpool add pool cache c2d0 c3d0
Once added, the cache devices gradually fill with content from main
memory. Depending on the size of your cache devices, it could take over
an hour for them to fill. Capacity and reads can be monitored using the
iostat option as follows:
# zpool iostat -v pool 5
Example 13 Adding a Mirrored Meta Device To a ZFS Pool
The following command adds a two-way mirrored meta device to a ZFS
storage pool:
# zpool add pool meta mirror c2d0 c3d0
Example 14 Removing a Mirrored Log Device
Given the configuration shown immediately below, the following command
removes the mirrored log device mirror-2 in the pool tank.
pool: tank

Example 15 Recovering a Faulted ZFS Pool
If a pool is faulted but recoverable, a message indicating this state
is provided by zpool status if the pool was cached (see cachefile
above), or as part of the error output from a failed zpool import of
the pool.
Recover a cached pool with the zpool clear command:
# zpool clear -F data
Pool data returned to its state as of Thu Jun 07 10:50:35 2012.
Discarded approximately 29 seconds of transactions.
If the pool configuration was not cached, use zpool import with the
recovery mode flag:
# zpool import -F data
Pool data returned to its state as of Thu Jun 07 10:50:35 2012.
Discarded approximately 29 seconds of transactions.
Example 16 Importing a ZFS Pool with a Missing Log Device
The following examples illustrate attempts to import a pool with a
missing log device. The -m option is used to complete the import opera‐
tion.
Additional devices are known to be part of this pool, though their
exact configuration cannot be determined.
# zpool import tank
The devices below are missing, use '-m' to import the pool anyway:
c5t0d0 [log]
cannot import 'tank': one or more devices is currently unavailable
# zpool import -m tank
# zpool status tank
pool: tank
state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas
exist for
the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

Example 17 Importing a Pool By a Specific Path
The following command imports the pool tank by identifying the pool's
specific device paths, /dev/dsk/c9t9d9 and /dev/dsk/c9t9d8, in this
example.
# zpool import -d /dev/dsk/c9t9d9s0 /dev/dsk/c9t9d8s0 tank
An existing limitation is that even though this pool is comprised of
whole disks, the command must include the specific device's slice iden‐
tifier.

WARNINGS
For making more space for a zpool, which is available by expanding the
capacity of the underlying LUN, do not use the format command to get
the new size of the LUN, and to relabel it. Instead, use the following
procedure:
1. Run zpool set autoexpand=on <zpool> once, and leave autoex‐
pand=on for the zpool all the time.
2. Expand the size of the LUN as desired. The zpool will
reflect the size of the LUN automatically.
NOTES
Each ZFS storage pool has an associated process, zpool-poolname, visi‐
ble in such tools as ps(1). A user has no interaction with these pro‐
cesses. For more information, see the SDC(4) man page.
