287 storage pool, as described in
289 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the
291 namespace. For example:
292 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
293 .No pool/ Ns Brq filesystem,volume,snapshot
296 where the maximum length of a dataset name is
300 A dataset can be one of the following:
307 can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
310 file systems are designed to be
312 compliant, known issues exist that prevent compliance in some cases.
313 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to nonstandard
314 behavior when checking file system free space.
316 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
317 only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
320 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
326 .Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
329 storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
330 datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the
332 file system hierarchy.
334 The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
335 unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
336 characteristics, however, are managed by the
342 for more information on creating and administering pools.
344 A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
345 created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
346 pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
347 data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
349 Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
350 rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
352 File system snapshots can be accessed under the
354 directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted
355 on demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
357 directory can be controlled by the
361 A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
362 as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly
363 instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional space.
365 Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
366 creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
367 clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
368 cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
370 property exposes this dependency, and the
372 command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
374 The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
376 subcommand. This causes the "origin" file system to become a clone of the
377 specified file system, which makes it possible to destroy the file system that
378 the clone was created from.
382 file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems per system is
383 likely to be numerous. To cope with this,
385 automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to
388 file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by
392 By default, file systems are mounted under
396 is the name of the file system in the
398 namespace. Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
400 A file system can also have a mount point set in the
402 property. This directory is created as needed, and
404 automatically mounts the file system when the
406 command is invoked (without editing
410 property can be inherited, so if
416 automatically inherits a mount point of
423 prevents the file system from being mounted.
427 file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
428 .Pq Xr mount 8 , Xr umount 8 , Xr fstab 5 .
429 If a file system's mount point is set to
432 makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
433 responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
436 dataset can be attached to a jail by using the
438 subcommand. You cannot attach a dataset to one jail and the children of the
439 same dataset to another jails. To allow management of the dataset from within
442 property has to be set and the jail needs access to the
446 property cannot be changed from within a jail. See
448 for information on how to allow mounting
450 datasets from within a jail.
453 dataset can be detached from a jail using the
457 After a dataset is attached to a jail and the jailed property is set, a jailed
458 file system cannot be mounted outside the jail, since the jail administrator
459 might have set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
461 Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block-level,
462 reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the
464 property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result
465 is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among
467 .Ss Native Properties
468 Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
469 "user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
472 behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
473 properties have no effect on
475 behavior, but you can use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful
476 in your environment. For more information about user properties, see the
477 .Qq Sx User Properties
480 Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
481 as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
482 unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
483 datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
485 The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
487 .Sy k , KB , M , Gb ,
490 for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
491 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
495 The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
497 .Sy mountpoint , sharenfs , No and Sy sharesmb .
499 The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
500 dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
501 apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
504 The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
505 that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
506 pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
507 pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
509 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
512 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
514 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
516 property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
517 the space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
521 property. Compression can be turned on by running:
522 .Qq Nm Cm set compression=on Ar dataset
526 The time this dataset was created.
528 For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or
529 volumes which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
531 property is this snapshot. If the
533 property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed (even with the
541 if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
543 command. Otherwise, the property is
545 .It Sy logicalreferenced
546 The amount of space that is
548 accessible by this dataset.
552 The logical space ignores the effect of the
556 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
558 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
560 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
563 The amount of space that is
565 consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
569 The logical space ignores the effect of the
573 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
576 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
579 For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
580 property can be either
585 For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
586 created. See also the
590 The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
591 shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
592 initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
593 was created from, since its contents are identical.
595 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
597 .It Sy refcompressratio
598 The compression ratio achieved for the
600 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
605 .Sy filesystem , volume , No or Sy snapshot .
607 The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
608 the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
609 space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
610 account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
611 dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
612 if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
615 When snapshots (see the
617 section) are created, their space is
618 initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
619 previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
620 shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
621 used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
622 to (and used by) other snapshots.
624 The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
625 pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
626 seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
630 does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
635 properties decompose the
637 properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
639 .Sy usedbysnapshots + usedbydataset + usedbychildren + usedbyrefreservation .
640 These properties are only available for datasets created
643 pool version 13 pools and higher.
644 .It Sy usedbysnapshots
645 The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
646 the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
647 destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
649 properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
651 The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
652 dataset were destroyed (after first removing any
654 and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).
655 .It Sy usedbychildren
656 The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
657 all the dataset's children were destroyed.
658 .It Sy usedbyrefreservation
659 The amount of space used by a
661 set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
664 .It Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
665 The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
666 charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
668 The amount of space charged is displayed by
674 subcommand for more information.
676 Unprivileged users can access only their own space usage. The root user, or a
677 user who has been granted the
681 can access everyone's usage.
685 properties are not displayed by
687 The user's name must be appended after the
689 symbol, using one of the following forms:

699 This property is set to the number of user holds on this snapshot. User holds
703 .It Sy groupused@ Ns Ar group
704 The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
705 charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
708 .Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
709 property for more information.
711 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
712 user, or a user who has been granted the
716 can access all groups' usage.
717 .It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Ar blocksize
718 For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
720 cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
721 volume creation time. The default
723 for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any
724 power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
726 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
731 space written to this dataset since the previous snapshot.
732 .It Sy written@ Ns Ar snapshot
735 space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot. This is the space
736 that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified
741 may be specified as a short snapshot name (just the part after the
743 in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
746 may be a full snapshot name
747 .Pq Em filesystem@snapshot ,
748 which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem (or the origin of
749 the origin's filesystem, etc).
752 The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a

765 entries are inherited when files and directories are created. A file system

776 only inherits inheritable
778 entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value
780 (the default) removes the
786 entry is inherited. A file system with an
790 inherits all inheritable
792 entries without any modifications made to the
794 entries when they are inherited. A file system with an
798 has the same meaning as

811 exist that affect the mode, then the mode is set in accordance to the requested
812 mode from the application.
813 .It Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Cm discard | groupmask | passthrough | restricted
818 A file system with an
822 (the default) deletes all
824 entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An
828 reduces permissions granted in all
832 such that they are no greater than the group permissions specified by

866 you must first remove all
868 entries which do not represent the current mode.
869 .It Sy atime Ns = Ns Cm on | off
870 Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
871 Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
872 can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
873 and other similar utilities. The default value is
875 .It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm on | off | noauto
876 If this property is set to
878 the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
879 .Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a .
880 Setting this property to
882 is similar to setting the
886 except that the dataset still has a normal
888 property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
890 allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
892 .Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm off
893 is to have two datasets with the same
895 so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
896 have different inherited characteristics.
900 value is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The
901 dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported,
902 nor is it mounted by the
904 command or unmounted by the
905 .Qq Nm Cm umount Fl a
908 This property is not inherited.
909 .It Sy checksum Ns = Ns Cm on | off | fletcher2 | fletcher4 | sha256 | noparity
910 Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
912 which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently,
914 but this may change in future releases). The value
916 disables integrity checking on user data.
920 disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data. This
921 setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and should
922 not be used by any other dataset.
923 Disabling checksums is
925 a recommended practice.
926 .It Sy compression Ns = Ns Cm on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip- Ns Ar N | zle | Cm lz4
927 Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The
929 compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
930 compression. Setting compression to
934 compression algorithm. The
936 compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
938 command. You can specify the
940 level by using the value
944 is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently,
948 (which is also the default for
952 compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
956 compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement
959 algorithm. It features significantly faster
960 compression and decompression, as well as a moderately higher
961 compression ratio than
963 but can only be used on pools with
970 for details on ZFS feature flags and the
974 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
976 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
977 .It Sy copies Ns = Ns Cm 1 | 2 | 3
978 Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
979 in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
980 RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
981 by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
983 property and counting against quotas and reservations.
985 Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
986 property at file system creation time by using the
987 .Fl o Cm copies= Ns Ar N
989 .It Sy dedup Ns = Ns Cm on | off | verify | sha256 Ns Op Cm ,verify
990 Configures deduplication for a dataset. The default value is
992 The default deduplication checksum is
994 (this may change in the future).
997 is enabled, the checksum defined here overrides the
999 property. Setting the value to
1001 has the same effect as the setting
1007 will do a byte-to-byte comparsion in case of two blocks having the same
1008 signature to make sure the block contents are identical.
1009 .It Sy devices Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1012 property is currently not supported on
1014 .It Sy exec Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1015 Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
1018 .It Sy mlslabel Ns = Ns Ar label | Cm none
1021 property is currently not supported on
1023 .It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar path | Cm none | legacy
1024 Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
1026 section for more information on how this property is used.
1030 property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1031 inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
1033 then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
1034 new location if the property was previously
1038 or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any
1039 shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
1040 .It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1043 property is currently not supported on
1045 .It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1046 Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to
1048 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1050 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1052 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1054 .It Sy quota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1055 Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
1056 property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
1057 space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
1058 quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
1059 the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1061 Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1063 property acts as an implicit quota.
1064 .It Sy userquota@ Ns Ar user Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1065 Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user.
1070 space calculation does not include space that is used by descendent datasets,
1071 such as snapshots and clones. User space consumption is identified by the
1072 .Sy userspace@ Ns Ar user
1075 Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
1076 that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
1077 over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1079 error message. See the
1081 subcommand for more information.
1083 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
1084 user, or a user who has been granted the
1088 can get and set everyone's quota.

1118 .It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1119 Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
1121 .It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1122 Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
1123 designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
1126 automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for
1127 typical access patterns.
1129 For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1130 chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
1132 greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1133 significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
1134 systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
1136 The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1137 than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
1139 Changing the file system's
1141 affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1143 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1145 .It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1146 Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
1147 limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
1148 by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
1149 .It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1150 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1151 descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
1152 treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1153 .Sy refreservation .
1156 reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1157 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1161 is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside
1162 of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in
1165 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1167 .It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1168 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
1169 the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
1170 were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
1171 are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
1172 parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1174 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1176 .It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1177 Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set
1180 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1182 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1184 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1186 .It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1187 Controls whether the
1189 bit is respected for the file system. The default value is
1191 .It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1194 property currently has no effect on
1196 .It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1197 Controls whether the file system is shared via
1199 and what options are used. A file system with a
1203 is managed the traditional way via
1205 Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1209 commands. If the property is set to
1213 export options are used. Otherwise,
1215 export options are equivalent to the contents of this property. The export
1216 options may be comma-separated. See
1218 for a list of valid options.

1228 about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
1235 will use pool log devices (if configured) to handle the requests at low
1241 will not use configured pool log devices.
1243 will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1244 efficient use of resources.
1245 .It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Cm hidden | visible
1246 Controls whether the
1248 directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1251 section. The default value is
1253 .It Sy sync Ns = Ns Cm standard | always | disabled
1254 Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g.
1256 O_DSYNC). This property accepts the following values:
1257 .Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 8n
1259 This is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are
1260 written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not
1261 cached by device controllers (this is the default).
1263 All file system transactions are written and flushed before their system calls
1264 return. This has a large performance penalty.
1266 Disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
1267 stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
1268 However, it is very dangerous as
1270 would be ignoring the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as
1273 Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1275 .It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1276 For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
1277 volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a
1278 version number of 9 or higher, a
1280 is set instead. Any changes to
1282 are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or
1283 .Sy refreservation ) .
1286 can only be set to a multiple of
1290 The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
1291 unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
1292 run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending
1293 on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is
1294 changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care
1295 should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1297 Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning")
1298 can be created by specifying the
1301 .Qq Nm Cm create Fl V
1302 command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
1303 "sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size.
1304 Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1306 when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
1308 are not reflected in the reservation.

1312 property is currently not supported on
1314 .It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Cm off | on
1317 property is currently not supported on

1322 section for more information. The default value is
1326 The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1327 created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
1328 properties are not set with the
1332 commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
1333 dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
1334 features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
1337 .It Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Cm sensitive | insensitive | mixed
1340 property is currently not supported on
1342 .It Sy normalization Ns = Ns Cm none | formC | formD | formKC | formKD
1343 Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1345 normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1346 normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored
1347 unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this
1348 property is set to a legal value other than
1352 property was left unspecified, the
1354 property is automatically set to

1360 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1361 .It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1362 Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1363 characters that are not present in the
1365 character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
1367 the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
1369 The default value for the
1373 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1377 .Sy casesensitivity , normalization , No and Sy utf8only
1378 properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged
1381 delegated administration feature.
1382 .Ss Temporary Mount Point Properties
1383 When a file system is mounted, either through
1385 for legacy mounts or the
1387 command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1388 properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1389 .Bl -column -offset 4n "PROPERTY" "MOUNT OPTION"
1390 .It "PROPERTY MOUNT OPTION"
1391 .It "atime atime/noatime"
1392 .It "exec exec/noexec"
1393 .It "readonly ro/rw"
1394 .It "setuid suid/nosuid"
1397 In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1399 option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
1400 specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. These
1401 properties are reported as "temporary" by the
1403 command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
1404 setting overrides any temporary settings.
1406 In addition to the standard native properties,
1408 supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on
1410 behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1411 (file systems, volumes, and snapshots).
1413 User property names must contain a colon
1415 character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain
1416 lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
1424 The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1426 .Em module Ns Sy \&: Ns Em property ,
1427 but this namespace is not enforced by
1429 User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1432 When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
1437 component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1438 independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1439 purposes. Property names beginning with
1441 are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
1443 The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1444 are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
1451 can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
1453 command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
1454 dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024

1766 snapshot. This makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was
1767 created from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so
1768 that the origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
1770 The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
1771 now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the origin file
1772 system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
1773 these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space
1774 accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting
