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

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. The
444 property cannot be changed from within a jail.
447 dataset can be detached from a jail using the
451 After a dataset is attached to a jail and the jailed property is set, a jailed
452 file system cannot be mounted outside the jail, since the jail administrator
453 might have set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
455 Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block-level,
456 reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the
458 property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result
459 is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among
461 .Ss Native Properties
462 Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
463 "user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
466 behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
467 properties have no effect on
469 behavior, but you can use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful
470 in your environment. For more information about user properties, see the
471 .Qq Sx User Properties
474 Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
475 as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
476 unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
477 datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
479 The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
481 .Sy k , KB , M , Gb ,
484 for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
485 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
489 The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
491 .Sy mountpoint , sharenfs , No and Sy sharesmb .
493 The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
494 dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
495 apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
498 The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
499 that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
500 pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
501 pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
503 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
506 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
508 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
510 property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
511 the space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
515 property. Compression can be turned on by running:
516 .Qq Nm Cm set compression=on Ar dataset
520 The time this dataset was created.
522 For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or
523 volumes which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
525 property is this snapshot. If the
527 property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed (even with the
535 if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
537 command. Otherwise, the property is
539 .It Sy logicalreferenced
540 The amount of space that is
542 accessible by this dataset.
546 The logical space ignores the effect of the
550 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
552 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
554 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
557 The amount of space that is
559 consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
563 The logical space ignores the effect of the
567 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
570 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
573 For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
574 property can be either
579 For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
580 created. See also the
584 The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
585 shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
586 initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
587 was created from, since its contents are identical.
589 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
591 .It Sy refcompressratio
592 The compression ratio achieved for the
594 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
599 .Sy filesystem , volume , No or Sy snapshot .
601 The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
602 the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
603 space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
604 account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
605 dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
606 if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
609 When snapshots (see the
611 section) are created, their space is
612 initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
613 previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
614 shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
615 used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
616 to (and used by) other snapshots.
618 The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
619 pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
620 seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
624 does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
629 properties decompose the
631 properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
633 .Sy usedbysnapshots + usedbydataset + usedbychildren + usedbyrefreservation .
634 These properties are only available for datasets created
637 pool version 13 pools and higher.
638 .It Sy usedbysnapshots
639 The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
640 the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
641 destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
643 properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
645 The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
646 dataset were destroyed (after first removing any
648 and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).
649 .It Sy usedbychildren
650 The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
651 all the dataset's children were destroyed.
652 .It Sy usedbyrefreservation
653 The amount of space used by a
655 set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
658 .It Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
659 The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
660 charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
662 The amount of space charged is displayed by

697 .It Sy groupused@ Ns Ar group
698 The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
699 charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
702 .Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
703 property for more information.
705 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
706 user, or a user who has been granted the
710 can access all groups' usage.
711 .It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Ar blocksize
712 For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
714 cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
715 volume creation time. The default
717 for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any
718 power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
720 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
725 space written to this dataset since the previous snapshot.
726 .It Sy written@ Ns Ar snapshot
729 space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot. This is the space
730 that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified

737 in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
740 may be a full snapshot name
741 .Pq Em filesystem@snapshot ,
742 which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem (or the origin of
743 the origin's filesystem, etc).
746 The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a

770 only inherits inheritable
772 entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value
774 (the default) removes the
780 entry is inherited. A file system with an
784 inherits all inheritable
786 entries without any modifications made to the
788 entries when they are inherited. A file system with an

806 mode from the application.
807 .It Sy aclmode Ns = Ns Cm discard | groupmask | passthrough | restricted
812 A file system with an
816 (the default) deletes all
818 entries that do not represent the mode of the file. An
822 reduces permissions granted in all
826 such that they are no greater than the group permissions specified by

860 you must first remove all
862 entries which do not represent the current mode.
863 .It Sy atime Ns = Ns Cm on | off
864 Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
865 Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
866 can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
867 and other similar utilities. The default value is
869 .It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm on | off | noauto
870 If this property is set to
872 the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
873 .Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a .
874 Setting this property to
876 is similar to setting the
880 except that the dataset still has a normal
882 property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
884 allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
886 .Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm off
887 is to have two datasets with the same
889 so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
890 have different inherited characteristics.
894 value is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The
895 dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported,
896 nor is it mounted by the
898 command or unmounted by the
899 .Qq Nm Cm umount Fl a
902 This property is not inherited.
903 .It Sy checksum Ns = Ns Cm on | off | fletcher2 | fletcher4 | sha256 | noparity
904 Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
906 which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently,
908 but this may change in future releases). The value
910 disables integrity checking on user data.
914 disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data. This
915 setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and should
916 not be used by any other dataset.
917 Disabling checksums is
919 a recommended practice.
920 .It Sy compression Ns = Ns Cm on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip- Ns Ar N | zle | Cm lz4
921 Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The
923 compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
924 compression. Setting compression to
928 compression algorithm. The
930 compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
932 command. You can specify the
934 level by using the value
938 is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently,

946 compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
950 compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement
953 algorithm. It features significantly faster
954 compression and decompression, as well as a moderately higher
955 compression ratio than
957 but can only be used on pools with
964 for details on ZFS feature flags and the
968 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
970 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
971 .It Sy copies Ns = Ns Cm 1 | 2 | 3
972 Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
973 in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
974 RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
975 by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
977 property and counting against quotas and reservations.
979 Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
980 property at file system creation time by using the
981 .Fl o Cm copies= Ns Ar N
983 .It Sy dedup Ns = Ns Cm on | off | verify | sha256 Ns Op Cm ,verify
984 Configures deduplication for a dataset. The default value is
986 The default deduplication checksum is
988 (this may change in the future).
991 is enabled, the checksum defined here overrides the
993 property. Setting the value to
995 has the same effect as the setting
1001 will do a byte-to-byte comparsion in case of two blocks having the same
1002 signature to make sure the block contents are identical.
1003 .It Sy devices Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1006 property is currently not supported on
1008 .It Sy exec Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1009 Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
1012 .It Sy mlslabel Ns = Ns Ar label | Cm none
1015 property is currently not supported on
1017 .It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar path | Cm none | legacy
1018 Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
1020 section for more information on how this property is used.
1024 property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1025 inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
1027 then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
1028 new location if the property was previously
1032 or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any
1033 shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
1034 .It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1037 property is currently not supported on
1039 .It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1040 Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to
1042 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1044 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1046 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1048 .It Sy quota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1049 Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
1050 property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
1051 space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
1052 quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
1053 the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1055 Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1057 property acts as an implicit quota.
1058 .It Sy userquota@ Ns Ar user Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none

1064 space calculation does not include space that is used by descendent datasets,
1065 such as snapshots and clones. User space consumption is identified by the
1066 .Sy userspace@ Ns Ar user
1069 Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
1070 that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
1071 over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1073 error message. See the
1075 subcommand for more information.
1077 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root

1112 .It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1113 Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
1115 .It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1116 Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
1117 designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
1120 automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for
1121 typical access patterns.
1123 For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1124 chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
1126 greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1127 significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
1128 systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
1130 The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1131 than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
1133 Changing the file system's
1135 affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1137 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1139 .It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1140 Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
1141 limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
1142 by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
1143 .It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1144 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1145 descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
1146 treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1147 .Sy refreservation .
1150 reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1151 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1155 is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside
1156 of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in
1159 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1161 .It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1162 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
1163 the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
1164 were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
1165 are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
1166 parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1168 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1170 .It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1171 Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set
1174 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1176 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1178 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1180 .It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1181 Controls whether the
1183 bit is respected for the file system. The default value is
1185 .It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1188 property currently has no effect on
1190 .It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1191 Controls whether the file system is shared via
1193 and what options are used. A file system with a
1197 is managed the traditional way via
1199 Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1203 commands. If the property is set to
1207 export options are used. Otherwise,
1209 export options are equivalent to the contents of this property. The export
1210 options may be comma-separated. See
1212 for a list of valid options.
1216 property is changed for a dataset, the

1222 about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
1229 will use pool log devices (if configured) to handle the requests at low
1235 will not use configured pool log devices.
1237 will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1238 efficient use of resources.
1239 .It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Cm hidden | visible
1240 Controls whether the
1242 directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1245 section. The default value is
1247 .It Sy sync Ns = Ns Cm standard | always | disabled
1248 Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g.
1250 O_DSYNC). This property accepts the following values:
1251 .Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 8n
1253 This is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are
1254 written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not
1255 cached by device controllers (this is the default).
1257 All file system transactions are written and flushed before their system calls
1258 return. This has a large performance penalty.
1260 Disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
1261 stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
1262 However, it is very dangerous as
1264 would be ignoring the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as
1267 Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1269 .It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1270 For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
1271 volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a
1272 version number of 9 or higher, a
1274 is set instead. Any changes to
1276 are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or
1277 .Sy refreservation ) .
1280 can only be set to a multiple of
1284 The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
1285 unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
1286 run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending
1287 on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is
1288 changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care
1289 should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1291 Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning")
1292 can be created by specifying the
1295 .Qq Nm Cm create Fl V
1296 command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
1297 "sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size.
1298 Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1300 when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
1302 are not reflected in the reservation.

1306 property is currently not supported on
1308 .It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Cm off | on
1311 property is currently not supported on

1316 section for more information. The default value is
1320 The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1321 created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
1322 properties are not set with the
1326 commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
1327 dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
1328 features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
1331 .It Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Cm sensitive | insensitive | mixed
1334 property is currently not supported on
1336 .It Sy normalization Ns = Ns Cm none | formC | formD | formKC | formKD
1337 Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1339 normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1340 normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored
1341 unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this
1342 property is set to a legal value other than
1346 property was left unspecified, the
1348 property is automatically set to

1354 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1355 .It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1356 Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1357 characters that are not present in the
1359 character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
1361 the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
1363 The default value for the
1367 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1371 .Sy casesensitivity , normalization , No and Sy utf8only
1372 properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged
1375 delegated administration feature.
1376 .Ss Temporary Mount Point Properties
1377 When a file system is mounted, either through
1379 for legacy mounts or the
1381 command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1382 properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1383 .Bl -column -offset 4n "PROPERTY" "MOUNT OPTION"
1384 .It PROPERTY MOUNT OPTION
1385 .It atime atime/noatime
1386 .It exec exec/noexec
1388 .It setuid suid/nosuid
1391 In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1393 option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
1394 specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. These
1395 properties are reported as "temporary" by the
1397 command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
1398 setting overrides any temporary settings.
1400 In addition to the standard native properties,
1402 supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on
1404 behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1405 (file systems, volumes, and snapshots).
1407 User property names must contain a colon
1409 character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain
1410 lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
1418 The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1420 .Em module Ns Sy \&: Ns Em property ,
1421 but this namespace is not enforced by
1423 User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1426 When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
1431 component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1432 independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1433 purposes. Property names beginning with
1435 are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
1437 The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1438 are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
1445 can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
1447 command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
1448 dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024

1757 Promotes a clone file system to no longer be dependent on its "origin"
1758 snapshot. This makes it possible to destroy the file system that the clone was
1759 created from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed, so
1760 that the origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
1762 The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
1763 now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the origin file
1764 system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
1765 these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space
1766 accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting
1767 snapshot names of its own. The
