A dataset is identified by a unique path within the ZFS namespace. For example: .Bd -literal pool/{filesystem,volume,snapshot} .Ed .Pp where the maximum length of a dataset name is .Dv MAXNAMELEN .Pq 256 bytes and the maximum amount of nesting allowed in a path is 50 levels deep. .Pp A dataset can be one of the following: .Bl -tag -width "file system" .It Sy file system A ZFS dataset of type .Sy filesystem 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 non-standard behavior when checking file system free space. .It Sy volume A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should only be used when a block device is required. File systems are typically used in most environments. .It Sy snapshot A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is specified as .Ar filesystem Ns @ Ns Ar name or .Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar name . .It Sy bookmark Much like a .Sy snapshot , but without the hold on on-disk data. It can be used as the source of a send (but not for a receive). It is specified as .Ar filesystem Ns # Ns Ar name or .Ar volume Ns # Ns Ar name . .El .Pp For details see .Xr zfsconcepts 8 . .Ss Properties Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined .Po or .Qq user .Pc 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 properties, see the .Xr zfsprops 8 man page. .Ss Encryption Enabling the .Sy encryption feature allows for the creation of encrypted filesystems and volumes. ZFS will encrypt file and zvol data, file attributes, ACLs, permission bits, directory listings, FUID mappings, and .Sy userused / .Sy groupused data. For an overview of encryption see the .Xr zfs-load-key 8 command manual. .Sh SUBCOMMANDS All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their original form. .Bl -tag -width "" .It Nm Fl ? Displays a help message. .It Xo .Nm .Fl V , -version .Xc An alias for the .Nm zfs Cm version subcommand. .It Xo .Nm .Cm version .Xc Displays the software version of the .Nm userland utility and the zfs kernel module. .El .Ss Dataset Management .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-list 8 Lists the property information for the given datasets in tabular form. .It Xr zfs-create 8 Creates a new ZFS file system or volume. .It Xr zfs-destroy 8 Destroys the given dataset(s), snapshot(s), or bookmark. .It Xr zfs-rename 8 Renames the given dataset (filesystem or snapshot). .It Xr zfs-upgrade 8 Manage upgrading the on-disk version of filesystems. .El .Ss Snapshots .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-snapshot 8 Creates snapshots with the given names. .It Xr zfs-rollback 8 Roll back the given dataset to a previous snapshot. .It Xo .Xr zfs-hold 8 / .Xr zfs-release 8 .Xc Add or remove a hold reference to the specified snapshot or snapshots. If a hold exists on a snapshot, attempts to destroy that snapshot by using the .Nm zfs Cm destroy command return .Er EBUSY . .It Xr zfs-diff 8 Display the difference between a snapshot of a given filesystem and another snapshot of that filesystem from a later time or the current contents of the filesystem. .El .Ss Clones .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-clone 8 Creates a clone of the given snapshot. .It Xr zfs-promote 8 Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its .Qq origin snapshot. .El .Ss Send & Receive .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-send 8 Generate a send stream, which may be of a filesystem, and may be incremental from a bookmark. .It Xr zfs-receive 8 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 .Xr zfs-send 8 subcommand, which by default creates a full stream. .It Xr zfs-bookmark 8 Creates a new bookmark of the given snapshot or bookmark. Bookmarks mark the point in time when the snapshot was created, and can be used as the incremental source for a .Nm zfs Cm send command. .It Xr zfs-redact 8 Generate a new redaction bookmark. This feature can be used to allow clones of a filesystem to be made available on a remote system, in the case where their parent need not (or needs to not) be usable. .El .Ss Properties .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-get 8 Displays properties for the given datasets. .It Xr zfs-set 8 Sets the property or list of properties to the given value(s) for each dataset. .It Xr zfs-inherit 8 Clears the specified property, causing it to be inherited from an ancestor, restored to default if no ancestor has the property set, or with the .Fl S option reverted to the received value if one exists. .El .Ss Quotas .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xo .Xr zfs-userspace 8 / .Xr zfs-groupspace 8 / .Xr zfs-projectspace 8 .Xc Displays space consumed by, and quotas on, each user, group, or project in the specified filesystem or snapshot. .It Xr zfs-project 8 List, set, or clear project ID and/or inherit flag on the file(s) or directories. .El .Ss Mountpoints .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-mount 8 Displays all ZFS file systems currently mounted, or mount ZFS filesystem on a path described by its .Sy mountpoint property. .It Xr zfs-unmount 8 Unmounts currently mounted ZFS file systems. .El .Ss Shares .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-share 8 Shares available ZFS file systems. .It Xr zfs-unshare 8 Unshares currently shared ZFS file systems. .El .Ss Delegated Administration .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-allow 8 Delegate permissions on the specified filesystem or volume. .It Xr zfs-unallow 8 Remove delegated permissions on the specified filesystem or volume. .El .Ss Encryption .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-change-key 8 Add or change an encryption key on the specified dataset. .It Xr zfs-load-key 8 Load the key for the specified encrypted dataset, enabling access. .It Xr zfs-unload-key 8 Unload a key for the specified dataset, removing the ability to access the dataset. .El .Ss Channel Programs .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-program 8 Execute ZFS administrative operations programmatically via a Lua script-language channel program. .El .Ss Jails .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-jail 8 Attaches a filesystem to a jail. .It Xr zfs-unjail 8 Detaches a filesystem from a jail. .El .Ss Waiting .Bl -tag -width "" .It Xr zfs-wait 8 Wait for background activity in a filesystem to complete. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS The .Nm utility exits 0 on success, 1 if an error occurs, and 2 if invalid command line options were specified. .Sh EXAMPLES .Bl -tag -width "" .It Sy Example 1 No Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy The following commands create a file system named .Em pool/home and a file system named .Em pool/home/bob . The mount point .Pa /export/home is set for the parent file system, and is automatically inherited by the child file system. .Bd -literal # zfs create pool/home # zfs set mountpoint=/export/home pool/home # zfs create pool/home/bob .Ed .It Sy Example 2 No Creating a ZFS Snapshot The following command creates a snapshot named .Sy yesterday . This snapshot is mounted on demand in the .Pa .zfs/snapshot directory at the root of the .Em pool/home/bob file system. .Bd -literal # zfs snapshot pool/home/bob@yesterday .Ed .It Sy Example 3 No Creating and Destroying Multiple Snapshots The following command creates snapshots named .Sy yesterday of .Em pool/home and all of its descendent file systems. Each snapshot is mounted on demand in the .Pa .zfs/snapshot directory at the root of its file system. The second command destroys the newly created snapshots. .Bd -literal # zfs snapshot -r pool/home@yesterday # zfs destroy -r pool/home@yesterday .Ed .It Sy Example 4 No Disabling and Enabling File System Compression The following command disables the .Sy compression property for all file systems under .Em pool/home .

The .Em fsA/fsB@snap portion of the received snapshot's name is determined from the name of the sent snapshot. .Em poolB must contain the file system .Em poolB/received . If .Em poolB/received/fsA does not exist, it is created as an empty file system. .Bd -literal # zfs send poolA/fsA/fsB@snap | \e ssh host zfs receive -d poolB/received .Ed .It Sy Example 14 No Setting User Properties The following example sets the user-defined .Sy com.example:department property for a dataset. .Bd -literal # zfs set com.example:department=12345 tank/accounting .Ed .It Sy Example 15 No 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: .Bd -literal # 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@4daysago @5daysago # zfs rename -r pool/users@3daysago @4daysago # zfs rename -r pool/users@2daysago @3daysago # zfs rename -r pool/users@yesterday @2daysago # zfs rename -r pool/users@today @yesterday # zfs snapshot -r pool/users@today .Ed .It Sy Example 16 No Setting sharenfs Property Options on a ZFS File System The following commands show how to set .Sy sharenfs property options to enable .Sy rw access for a set of .Sy IP addresses and to enable root access for system .Sy neo on the .Em tank/home file system. .Bd -literal # zfs set sharenfs='rw=@123.123.0.0/16,root=neo' tank/home .Ed .Pp If you are using .Sy DNS for host name resolution, specify the fully qualified hostname. .It Sy Example 17 No Delegating ZFS Administration Permissions on a ZFS Dataset The following example shows how to set permissions so that user .Sy cindys can create, destroy, mount, and take snapshots on .Em tank/cindys . The permissions on .Em tank/cindys are also displayed. .Bd -literal # zfs allow cindys create,destroy,mount,snapshot tank/cindys # zfs allow tank/cindys ---- Permissions on tank/cindys -------------------------------------- Local+Descendent permissions: user cindys create,destroy,mount,snapshot .Ed .Pp Because the .Em tank/cindys mount point permission is set to 755 by default, user .Sy cindys will be unable to mount file systems under .Em tank/cindys . Add an ACE similar to the following syntax to provide mount point access: .Bd -literal # chmod A+user:cindys:add_subdirectory:allow /tank/cindys .Ed .It Sy Example 18 No Delegating Create Time Permissions on a ZFS Dataset The following example shows how to grant anyone in the group .Sy staff to create file systems in .Em 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 .Em tank/users are also displayed. .Bd -literal # zfs allow staff create,mount tank/users # zfs allow -c destroy tank/users # zfs allow tank/users ---- Permissions on tank/users --------------------------------------- Permission sets: destroy Local+Descendent permissions: group staff create,mount .Ed .It Sy Example 19 No Defining and Granting a Permission Set on a ZFS Dataset The following example shows how to define and grant a permission set on the .Em tank/users file system. The permissions on .Em tank/users are also displayed. .Bd -literal # zfs allow -s @pset create,destroy,snapshot,mount tank/users # zfs allow staff @pset tank/users # zfs allow tank/users ---- Permissions on tank/users --------------------------------------- Permission sets: @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot Local+Descendent permissions: group staff @pset .Ed .It Sy Example 20 No Delegating Property Permissions on a ZFS Dataset The following example shows to grant the ability to set quotas and reservations on the .Em users/home file system. The permissions on .Em users/home are also displayed. .Bd -literal # zfs allow cindys quota,reservation users/home # zfs allow users/home ---- Permissions on users/home --------------------------------------- Local+Descendent permissions: 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 .Ed .It Sy Example 21 No Removing ZFS Delegated Permissions on a ZFS Dataset The following example shows how to remove the snapshot permission from the .Sy staff group on the .Em tank/users file system. The permissions on .Em tank/users are also displayed. .Bd -literal # zfs unallow staff snapshot tank/users # zfs allow tank/users ---- Permissions on tank/users --------------------------------------- Permission sets: @pset create,destroy,mount,snapshot Local+Descendent permissions: group staff @pset .Ed .It Sy Example 22 No Showing the differences between a snapshot and a ZFS Dataset The following example shows how to see what has changed between a prior snapshot of a ZFS dataset and its current state. The .Fl F option is used to indicate type information for the files affected. .Bd -literal # zfs diff -F tank/test@before tank/test M / /tank/test/ M F /tank/test/linked (+1) R F /tank/test/oldname -> /tank/test/newname - F /tank/test/deleted + F /tank/test/created M F /tank/test/modified .Ed .It Sy Example 23 No Creating a bookmark The following example create a bookmark to a snapshot. This bookmark can then be used instead of snapshot in send streams. .Bd -literal # zfs bookmark rpool@snapshot rpool#bookmark .Ed .It Sy Example 24 No Setting sharesmb Property Options on a ZFS File System The following example show how to share SMB filesystem through ZFS. Note that that a user and his/her password must be given. .Bd -literal # smbmount //127.0.0.1/share_tmp /mnt/tmp \\ -o user=workgroup/turbo,password=obrut,uid=1000 .Ed .Pp Minimal .Em /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration required: .Pp Samba will need to listen to 'localhost' (127.0.0.1) for the ZFS utilities to communicate with Samba. This is the default behavior for most Linux distributions. .Pp Samba must be able to authenticate a user. This can be done in a number of ways, depending on if using the system password file, LDAP or the Samba specific smbpasswd file. How to do this is outside the scope of this manual. Please refer to the .Xr smb.conf 5 man page for more information. .Pp See the .Sy USERSHARE section of the .Xr smb.conf 5 man page for all configuration options in case you need to modify any options to the share afterwards. Do note that any changes done with the .Xr net 8 command will be undone if the share is ever unshared (such as at a reboot etc). .El .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Committed . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr attr 1 , .Xr gzip 1 , .Xr ssh 1 , .Xr chmod 2 , .Xr fsync 2 , .Xr stat 2 , .Xr write 2 , .Xr acl 5 , .Xr attributes 5 , .Xr exports 5 , .Xr exportfs 8 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr net 8 , .Xr selinux 8 , .Xr zfsconcepts 8 , .Xr zfsprops 8 , .Xr zpool 8
