289 storage pool, as described in
291 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the
293 namespace. For example:
294 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
295 .No pool/ Ns Brq filesystem,volume,snapshot
298 where the maximum length of a dataset name is
302 A dataset can be one of the following:
309 can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
312 file systems are designed to be
314 compliant, known issues exist that prevent compliance in some cases.
315 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to nonstandard
316 behavior when checking file system free space.
318 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
319 only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
322 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
328 .Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
331 storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
332 datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the
334 file system hierarchy.
336 The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
337 unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
338 characteristics, however, are managed by the
344 for more information on creating and administering pools.
346 A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
347 created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
348 pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
349 data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
351 Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
352 rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
354 File system snapshots can be accessed under the
356 directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted
357 on demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
359 directory can be controlled by the
363 A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
364 as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly
365 instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional space.
367 Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
368 creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
369 clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
370 cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
372 property exposes this dependency, and the
374 command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
376 The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
378 subcommand. This causes the "origin" file system to become a clone of the
379 specified file system, which makes it possible to destroy the file system that
380 the clone was created from.
384 file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems per system is
385 likely to be numerous. To cope with this,
387 automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to
390 file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by
394 By default, file systems are mounted under
398 is the name of the file system in the
400 namespace. Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
402 A file system can also have a mount point set in the
404 property. This directory is created as needed, and
406 automatically mounts the file system when the
408 command is invoked (without editing
412 property can be inherited, so if
418 automatically inherits a mount point of
425 prevents the file system from being mounted.
429 file systems can also be managed with traditional tools

431 If a file system's mount point is set to
434 makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
435 responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
438 dataset can be attached to a jail by using the
440 subcommand. You cannot attach a dataset to one jail and the children of the
441 same dataset to another jails. To allow management of the dataset from within
444 property has to be set and the jail needs access to the
448 property cannot be changed from within a jail. See
450 for information on how to allow mounting
452 datasets from within a jail.
455 dataset can be detached from a jail using the
459 After a dataset is attached to a jail and the jailed property is set, a jailed
460 file system cannot be mounted outside the jail, since the jail administrator
461 might have set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
463 Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block-level,
464 reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the
466 property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result
467 is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among
469 .Ss Native Properties
470 Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
471 "user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
474 behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
475 properties have no effect on
477 behavior, but you can use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful
478 in your environment. For more information about user properties, see the
479 .Qq Sx User Properties
482 Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
483 as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
484 unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
485 datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
487 The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
489 .Sy k , KB , M , Gb ,
492 for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
493 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
497 The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
499 .Sy mountpoint , sharenfs , No and Sy sharesmb .
501 The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
502 dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
503 apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
506 The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
507 that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
508 pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
509 pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
511 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
514 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
516 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
518 property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
519 the space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
523 property. Compression can be turned on by running:
524 .Qq Nm Cm set compression=on Ar dataset
528 The time this dataset was created.
530 For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or
531 volumes which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
533 property is this snapshot. If the
535 property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed (even with the
543 if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
545 command. Otherwise, the property is
547 .It Sy filesystem_count
548 The total number of filesystems and volumes that exist under this location in the
550 This value is only available when a
553 been set somewhere in the tree under which the dataset resides.
554 .It Sy logicalreferenced
555 The amount of space that is
557 accessible by this dataset.
561 The logical space ignores the effect of the
565 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
567 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
569 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
572 The amount of space that is
574 consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
578 The logical space ignores the effect of the
582 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
585 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
588 For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
589 property can be either
594 For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
595 created. See also the
599 The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
600 shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
601 initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
602 was created from, since its contents are identical.
604 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
606 .It Sy refcompressratio
607 The compression ratio achieved for the
609 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
612 .It Sy snapshot_count
613 The total number of snapshots that exist under this location in the dataset tree.
614 This value is only available when a
616 has been set somewhere
617 in the tree under which the dataset resides.
620 .Sy filesystem , volume , No or Sy snapshot .
622 The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
623 the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
624 space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
625 account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
626 dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
627 if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
630 When snapshots (see the
632 section) are created, their space is
633 initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
634 previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
635 shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
636 used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
637 to (and used by) other snapshots.
639 The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
640 pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
641 seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
645 does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
650 properties decompose the
652 properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
654 .Sy usedbysnapshots + usedbydataset + usedbychildren + usedbyrefreservation .
655 These properties are only available for datasets created
658 pool version 13 pools and higher.
659 .It Sy usedbysnapshots
660 The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
661 the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
662 destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
664 properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
666 The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
667 dataset were destroyed (after first removing any
669 and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).
670 .It Sy usedbychildren
671 The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
672 all the dataset's children were destroyed.
673 .It Sy usedbyrefreservation
674 The amount of space used by a
676 set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
679 .It Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
680 The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
681 charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
683 The amount of space charged is displayed by

718 .It Sy groupused@ Ns Ar group
719 The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
720 charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
723 .Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
724 property for more information.
726 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
727 user, or a user who has been granted the
731 can access all groups' usage.
732 .It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Ar blocksize
733 For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
735 cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
736 volume creation time. The default
738 for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any
739 power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
741 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
746 space written to this dataset since the previous snapshot.
747 .It Sy written@ Ns Ar snapshot
750 space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot. This is the space
751 that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified

758 in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
761 may be a full snapshot name
762 .Pq Em filesystem@snapshot ,
763 which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem (or the origin of
764 the origin's filesystem, etc).
767 The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a

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

793 entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value
795 (the default) removes the
801 entry is inherited. A file system with an
805 inherits all inheritable
807 entries without any modifications made to the
809 entries when they are inherited. A file system with an

827 mode from the application.
828 .It Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Cm discard | groupmask | passthrough | restricted
833 A file system with an
837 (the default) deletes all
839 entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An
843 reduces permissions granted in all
847 such that they are no greater than the group permissions specified by

881 you must first remove all
883 entries which do not represent the current mode.
884 .It Sy atime Ns = Ns Cm on | off
885 Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
886 Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
887 can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
888 and other similar utilities. The default value is
890 .It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm on | off | noauto
891 If this property is set to
893 the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
894 .Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a .
895 Setting this property to
897 is similar to setting the
901 except that the dataset still has a normal
903 property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
905 allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
907 .Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm off
908 is to have two datasets with the same
910 so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
911 have different inherited characteristics.
915 value is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The
916 dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported,
917 nor is it mounted by the
919 command or unmounted by the
920 .Qq Nm Cm umount Fl a
923 This property is not inherited.
924 .It Sy checksum Ns = Ns Cm on | off | fletcher2 | fletcher4 | sha256 | noparity
925 Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
927 which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently,
929 but this may change in future releases). The value
931 disables integrity checking on user data.
935 disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data. This
936 setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and should
937 not be used by any other dataset.
938 Disabling checksums is
940 a recommended practice.
941 .It Sy compression Ns = Ns Cm on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip- Ns Ar N | Cm zle | Cm lz4
942 Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The
944 compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data

951 compression algorithm uses the same compression as the

974 algorithm. It features significantly faster

989 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
991 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
992 .It Sy copies Ns = Ns Cm 1 | 2 | 3
993 Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
994 in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
995 RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
996 by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
998 property and counting against quotas and reservations.
1000 Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
1001 property at file system creation time by using the
1002 .Fl o Cm copies= Ns Ar N
1004 .It Sy dedup Ns = Ns Cm on | off | verify | sha256 Ns Op Cm ,verify
1005 Configures deduplication for a dataset. The default value is
1007 The default deduplication checksum is
1009 (this may change in the future).
1012 is enabled, the checksum defined here overrides the
1014 property. Setting the value to
1016 has the same effect as the setting
1022 will do a byte-to-byte comparsion in case of two blocks having the same
1023 signature to make sure the block contents are identical.
1024 .It Sy devices Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1027 property is currently not supported on
1029 .It Sy exec Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1030 Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The

1053 .Xr zpool-features 7
1055 .It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar path | Cm none | legacy
1056 Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
1058 section for more information on how this property is used.
1062 property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1063 inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
1065 then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the

1075 property is currently not supported on
1077 .It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1078 Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to
1080 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1082 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1084 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1086 .It Sy quota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1087 Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
1088 property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
1089 space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
1090 quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
1091 the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1093 Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1095 property acts as an implicit quota.
1096 .It Sy snapshot_limit Ns = Ns Ar count | Cm none

1123 space calculation does not include space that is used by descendent datasets,
1124 such as snapshots and clones. User space consumption is identified by the
1125 .Sy userspace@ Ns Ar user
1128 Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
1129 that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
1130 over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1132 error message. See the
1134 subcommand for more information.

1171 .It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1172 Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
1174 .It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1175 Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
1176 designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
1179 automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for
1180 typical access patterns.
1182 For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1183 chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
1185 greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1186 significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
1187 systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
1189 The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1190 than or equal to 128 Kbytes.

1202 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1204 .It Sy redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Cm all | most
1205 Controls what types of metadata are stored redundantly.
1206 ZFS stores an extra copy of metadata, so that if a single block is corrupted,
1207 the amount of user data lost is limited.
1208 This extra copy is in addition to any redundancy provided at the pool level
1209 .Pq e.g. by mirroring or RAID-Z ,
1210 and is in addition to an extra copy specified by the
1213 .Pq up to a total of 3 copies .
1214 For example if the pool is mirrored,
1215 .Cm copies Ns = Ns Ar 2 ,
1217 .Cm redundant_metadata Ns = Ns Ar most ,
1219 stores 6 copies of most metadata, and 4 copies of data and some
1224 ZFS stores an extra copy of all metadata.
1226 single on-disk block is corrupt, at worst a single block of user data
1235 ZFS stores an extra copy of most types of
1237 This can improve performance of random writes, because less
1238 metadata must be written.
1239 In practice, at worst about 100 blocks
1244 of user data can be lost if a single
1245 on-disk block is corrupt.
1246 The exact behavior of which metadata blocks
1247 are stored redundantly may change in future releases.
1249 The default value is
1251 .It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1252 Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
1253 limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
1254 by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
1255 .It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1256 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1257 descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
1258 treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1259 .Sy refreservation .
1262 reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1263 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.

1268 of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in
1271 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1273 .It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1274 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
1275 the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
1276 were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
1277 are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
1278 parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1280 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1282 .It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1283 Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set
1286 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1288 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1290 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1292 .It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Cm on | off

1349 will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1350 efficient use of resources.
1351 .It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Cm hidden | visible
1352 Controls whether the
1354 directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1357 section. The default value is
1359 .It Sy sync Ns = Ns Cm standard | always | disabled
1360 Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g.
1362 O_DSYNC). This property accepts the following values:
1363 .Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 8n
1365 This is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are
1366 written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not
1367 cached by device controllers (this is the default).
1369 All file system transactions are written and flushed before their system calls
1370 return. This has a large performance penalty.
1372 Disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
1373 stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
1374 However, it is very dangerous as
1376 would be ignoring the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as
1379 Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1381 .It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1382 For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
1383 volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a
1384 version number of 9 or higher, a
1386 is set instead. Any changes to
1388 are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or
1389 .Sy refreservation ) .
1392 can only be set to a multiple of
1396 The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
1397 unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
1398 run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending
1399 on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is
1400 changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care
1401 should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1403 Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning")
1404 can be created by specifying the
1407 .Qq Nm Cm create Fl V
1408 command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
1409 "sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size.
1410 Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1412 when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
1414 are not reflected in the reservation.
1415 .It Sy volmode Ns = Ns Cm default | geom | dev | none
1416 This property specifies how volumes should be exposed to the OS.
1421 providers, providing maximal functionality.
1424 exposes volumes only as cdev device in devfs.
1425 Such volumes can be accessed only as raw disk device files, i.e. they
1426 can not be partitioned, mounted, participate in RAIDs, etc, but they
1427 are faster, and in some use scenarios with untrusted consumer, such as
1428 NAS or VM storage, can be more safe.
1429 Volumes with property set to
1431 are not exposed outside ZFS, but can be snapshoted, cloned, replicated, etc,
1432 that can be suitable for backup purposes.
1435 means that volumes exposition is controlled by system-wide sysctl/tunable

1442 are encoded as 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
1443 The default values is

1458 Controls whether the dataset is managed from a jail. See the
1460 section for more information. The default value is
1464 The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1465 created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
1466 properties are not set with the
1470 commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
1471 dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
1472 features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
1475 .It Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Cm sensitive | insensitive | mixed
1476 Indicates whether the file name matching algorithm used by the file system
1477 should be case-sensitive, case-insensitive, or allow a combination of both
1478 styles of matching. The default value for the
1482 Traditionally, UNIX and POSIX file systems have case-sensitive file names.
1488 property indicates that the
1489 file system can support requests for both case-sensitive and case-insensitive
1491 .It Sy normalization Ns = Ns Cm none | formC | formD | formKC | formKD
1492 Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1494 normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1495 normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored
1496 unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this
1497 property is set to a legal value other than
1501 property was left unspecified, the
1503 property is automatically set to

1509 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1510 .It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1511 Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1512 characters that are not present in the
1514 character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
1516 the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to

1522 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1526 .Sy casesensitivity , normalization , No and Sy utf8only
1527 properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged
1530 delegated administration feature.
1531 .Ss Temporary Mount Point Properties
1532 When a file system is mounted, either through
1534 for legacy mounts or the
1536 command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1537 properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1538 .Bl -column -offset 4n "PROPERTY" "MOUNT OPTION"
1539 .It "PROPERTY MOUNT OPTION"
1540 .It "atime atime/noatime"
1541 .It "exec exec/noexec"
1542 .It "readonly ro/rw"
1543 .It "setuid suid/nosuid"
1546 In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1548 option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
1549 specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. These
1550 properties are reported as "temporary" by the
1552 command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
1553 setting overrides any temporary settings.
1555 In addition to the standard native properties,
1557 supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on
1559 behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1560 (file systems, volumes, and snapshots).
1562 User property names must contain a colon
1564 character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain
1565 lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
1573 The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1575 .Em module Ns Sy \&: Ns Em property ,
1576 but this namespace is not enforced by
1578 User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1581 When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
1586 component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1587 independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1588 purposes. Property names beginning with
1590 are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
1592 The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1593 are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
1600 can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
1602 command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
1603 dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024

2969 Sets "create time" permissions. These permissions are granted (locally) to the
2970 creator of any newly-created descendent file system.
2976 .Ar perm Ns | Ns Ar @setname Ns Op Ns , Ns Ar perm Ns | Ns Ar @setname Ns
2978 .Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume
2981 Defines or adds permissions to a permission set. The set can be used by other
2983 commands for the specified file system and its descendents. Sets are evaluated
2984 dynamically, so changes to a set are immediately reflected. Permission sets
2985 follow the same naming restrictions as ZFS file systems, but the name must
2986 begin with an "at sign"
2988 and can be no more than 64 characters long.

3017 Removes permissions that were granted with the
3019 command. No permissions are explicitly denied, so other permissions granted are
3020 still in effect. For example, if the permission is granted by an ancestor. If
3021 no permissions are specified, then all permissions for the specified
3022 .Ar user , group , No or everyone
3023 are removed. Specifying
3025 .Po or using the Fl e
3027 .Pc only removes the permissions that were granted to everyone ,
3028 not all permissions for every user and group. See the
