273 storage pool, as described in
275 A dataset is identified by a unique path within the
277 namespace. For example:
278 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
279 .No pool/ Ns Brq filesystem,volume,snapshot
282 where the maximum length of a dataset name is
286 A dataset can be one of the following:
293 can be mounted within the standard system namespace and behaves like other file
296 file systems are designed to be
298 compliant, known issues exist that prevent compliance in some cases.
299 Applications that depend on standards conformance might fail due to nonstandard
300 behavior when checking file system free space.
302 A logical volume exported as a raw or block device. This type of dataset should
303 only be used under special circumstances. File systems are typically used in
306 A read-only version of a file system or volume at a given point in time. It is
312 .Ss ZFS File System Hierarchy
315 storage pool is a logical collection of devices that provide space for
316 datasets. A storage pool is also the root of the
318 file system hierarchy.
320 The root of the pool can be accessed as a file system, such as mounting and
321 unmounting, taking snapshots, and setting properties. The physical storage
322 characteristics, however, are managed by the
328 for more information on creating and administering pools.
330 A snapshot is a read-only copy of a file system or volume. Snapshots can be
331 created extremely quickly, and initially consume no additional space within the
332 pool. As data within the active dataset changes, the snapshot consumes more
333 data than would otherwise be shared with the active dataset.
335 Snapshots can have arbitrary names. Snapshots of volumes can be cloned or
336 rolled back, but cannot be accessed independently.
338 File system snapshots can be accessed under the
340 directory in the root of the file system. Snapshots are automatically mounted
341 on demand and may be unmounted at regular intervals. The visibility of the
343 directory can be controlled by the
347 A clone is a writable volume or file system whose initial contents are the same
348 as another dataset. As with snapshots, creating a clone is nearly
349 instantaneous, and initially consumes no additional space.
351 Clones can only be created from a snapshot. When a snapshot is cloned, it
352 creates an implicit dependency between the parent and child. Even though the
353 clone is created somewhere else in the dataset hierarchy, the original snapshot
354 cannot be destroyed as long as a clone exists. The
356 property exposes this dependency, and the
358 command lists any such dependencies, if they exist.
360 The clone parent-child dependency relationship can be reversed by using the
362 subcommand. This causes the "origin" file system to become a clone of the
363 specified file system, which makes it possible to destroy the file system that
364 the clone was created from.
368 file system is a simple operation, so the number of file systems per system is
369 likely to be numerous. To cope with this,
371 automatically manages mounting and unmounting file systems without the need to
374 file. All automatically managed file systems are mounted by
378 By default, file systems are mounted under
382 is the name of the file system in the
384 namespace. Directories are created and destroyed as needed.
386 A file system can also have a mount point set in the
388 property. This directory is created as needed, and
390 automatically mounts the file system when the
392 command is invoked (without editing
396 property can be inherited, so if
402 automatically inherits a mount point of
409 prevents the file system from being mounted.
413 file systems can also be managed with traditional tools
414 .Pq Xr mount 8 , Xr umount 8 , Xr fstab 5 .
415 If a file system's mount point is set to
418 makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is
419 responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system.
422 dataset can be attached to a jail by using the
424 subcommand. You cannot attach a dataset to one jail and the children of the
425 same dataset to another jails. To allow management of the dataset from within
428 property has to be set. The
430 property cannot be changed from within a jail.
433 dataset can be detached from a jail using the
437 After a dataset is attached to a jail and the jailed property is set, a jailed
438 file system cannot be mounted outside the jail, since the jail administrator
439 might have set the mount point to an unacceptable value.
441 Deduplication is the process for removing redundant data at the block-level,
442 reducing the total amount of data stored. If a file system has the
444 property enabled, duplicate data blocks are removed synchronously. The result
445 is that only unique data is stored and common components are shared among
447 .Ss Native Properties
448 Properties are divided into two types, native properties and user-defined (or
449 "user") properties. Native properties either export internal statistics or
452 behavior. In addition, native properties are either editable or read-only. User
453 properties have no effect on
455 behavior, but you can use them to annotate datasets in a way that is meaningful
456 in your environment. For more information about user properties, see the
457 .Qq Sx User Properties
460 Every dataset has a set of properties that export statistics about the dataset
461 as well as control various behaviors. Properties are inherited from the parent
462 unless overridden by the child. Some properties apply only to certain types of
463 datasets (file systems, volumes, or snapshots).
465 The values of numeric properties can be specified using human-readable suffixes
467 .Sy k , KB , M , Gb ,
470 for zettabyte). The following are all valid (and equal) specifications:
471 .Bd -ragged -offset 4n
475 The values of non-numeric properties are case sensitive and must be lowercase,
477 .Sy mountpoint , sharenfs , No and Sy sharesmb .
479 The following native properties consist of read-only statistics about the
480 dataset. These properties can be neither set, nor inherited. Native properties
481 apply to all dataset types unless otherwise noted.
484 The amount of space available to the dataset and all its children, assuming
485 that there is no other activity in the pool. Because space is shared within a
486 pool, availability can be limited by any number of factors, including physical
487 pool size, quotas, reservations, or other datasets within the pool.
489 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
492 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the
494 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. The
496 property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include
497 the space shared with the origin snapshot. For snapshots, the
501 property. Compression can be turned on by running:
502 .Qq Nm Cm set compression=on Ar dataset
506 The time this dataset was created.
508 For snapshots, this property is a comma-separated list of filesystems or
509 volumes which are clones of this snapshot. The clones'
511 property is this snapshot. If the
513 property is not empty, then this snapshot can not be destroyed (even with the
521 if the snapshot has been marked for deferred destroy by using the
523 command. Otherwise, the property is
525 .It Sy logicalreferenced
526 The amount of space that is
528 accessible by this dataset.
532 The logical space ignores the effect of the
536 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
538 However, it does include space consumed by metadata.
540 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
543 The amount of space that is
545 consumed by this dataset and all its descendents.
549 The logical space ignores the effect of the
553 properties, giving a quantity closer to the amount of data that applications
556 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
559 For file systems, indicates whether the file system is currently mounted. This
560 property can be either
565 For cloned file systems or volumes, the snapshot from which the clone was
566 created. See also the
570 The amount of data that is accessible by this dataset, which may or may not be
571 shared with other datasets in the pool. When a snapshot or clone is created, it
572 initially references the same amount of space as the file system or snapshot it
573 was created from, since its contents are identical.
575 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
577 .It Sy refcompressratio
578 The compression ratio achieved for the
580 space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier. See also the
585 .Sy filesystem , volume , No or Sy snapshot .
587 The amount of space consumed by this dataset and all its descendents. This is
588 the value that is checked against this dataset's quota and reservation. The
589 space used does not include this dataset's reservation, but does take into
590 account the reservations of any descendent datasets. The amount of space that a
591 dataset consumes from its parent, as well as the amount of space that are freed
592 if this dataset is recursively destroyed, is the greater of its space used and
595 When snapshots (see the
597 section) are created, their space is
598 initially shared between the snapshot and the file system, and possibly with
599 previous snapshots. As the file system changes, space that was previously
600 shared becomes unique to the snapshot, and counted in the snapshot's space
601 used. Additionally, deleting snapshots can increase the amount of space unique
602 to (and used by) other snapshots.
604 The amount of space used, available, or referenced does not take into account
605 pending changes. Pending changes are generally accounted for within a few
606 seconds. Committing a change to a disk using
610 does not necessarily guarantee that the space usage information is updated
615 properties decompose the
617 properties into the various reasons that space is used. Specifically,
619 .Sy usedbysnapshots + usedbydataset + usedbychildren + usedbyrefreservation .
620 These properties are only available for datasets created
623 pool version 13 pools and higher.
624 .It Sy usedbysnapshots
625 The amount of space consumed by snapshots of this dataset. In particular, it is
626 the amount of space that would be freed if all of this dataset's snapshots were
627 destroyed. Note that this is not simply the sum of the snapshots'
629 properties because space can be shared by multiple snapshots.
631 The amount of space used by this dataset itself, which would be freed if the
632 dataset were destroyed (after first removing any
634 and destroying any necessary snapshots or descendents).
635 .It Sy usedbychildren
636 The amount of space used by children of this dataset, which would be freed if
637 all the dataset's children were destroyed.
638 .It Sy usedbyrefreservation
639 The amount of space used by a
641 set on this dataset, which would be freed if the
644 .It Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
645 The amount of space consumed by the specified user in this dataset. Space is
646 charged to the owner of each file, as displayed by
648 The amount of space charged is displayed by
654 subcommand for more information.
656 Unprivileged users can access only their own space usage. The root user, or a
657 user who has been granted the
661 can access everyone's usage.
665 properties are not displayed by
667 The user's name must be appended after the
669 symbol, using one of the following forms:

679 This property is set to the number of user holds on this snapshot. User holds
683 .It Sy groupused@ Ns Ar group
684 The amount of space consumed by the specified group in this dataset. Space is
685 charged to the group of each file, as displayed by
688 .Sy userused@ Ns Ar user
689 property for more information.
691 Unprivileged users can only access their own groups' space usage. The root
692 user, or a user who has been granted the
696 can access all groups' usage.
697 .It Sy volblocksize Ns = Ns Ar blocksize
698 For volumes, specifies the block size of the volume. The
700 cannot be changed once the volume has been written, so it should be set at
701 volume creation time. The default
703 for volumes is 8 Kbytes. Any
704 power of 2 from 512 bytes to 128 Kbytes is valid.
706 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
711 space written to this dataset since the previous snapshot.
712 .It Sy written@ Ns Ar snapshot
715 space written to this dataset since the specified snapshot. This is the space
716 that is referenced by this dataset but was not referenced by the specified
721 may be specified as a short snapshot name (just the part after the
723 in which case it will be interpreted as a snapshot in the same filesystem as
726 may be a full snapshot name
727 .Pq Em filesystem@snapshot ,
728 which for clones may be a snapshot in the origin's filesystem (or the origin of
729 the origin's filesystem, etc).
732 The following native properties can be used to change the behavior of a

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

756 only inherits inheritable
758 entries that specify "deny" permissions. The property value
760 (the default) removes the
766 entry is inherited. A file system with an
770 inherits all inheritable
772 entries without any modifications made to the
774 entries when they are inherited. A file system with an
778 has the same meaning as

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

818 indicates that no changes are made to the
820 other than creating or updating the necessary
822 entries to represent the new mode of the file or directory.

835 or directory, as they do not have equivalent

846 you must first remove all
848 entries which do not represent the current mode.
849 .It Sy atime Ns = Ns Cm on | off
850 Controls whether the access time for files is updated when they are read.
851 Turning this property off avoids producing write traffic when reading files and
852 can result in significant performance gains, though it might confuse mailers
853 and other similar utilities. The default value is
855 .It Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm on | off | noauto
856 If this property is set to
858 the file system cannot be mounted, and is ignored by
859 .Qq Nm Cm mount Fl a .
860 Setting this property to
862 is similar to setting the
866 except that the dataset still has a normal
868 property, which can be inherited. Setting this property to
870 allows datasets to be used solely as a mechanism to inherit properties. One
872 .Sy canmount Ns = Ns Cm off
873 is to have two datasets with the same
875 so that the children of both datasets appear in the same directory, but might
876 have different inherited characteristics.
880 value is set, a dataset can only be mounted and unmounted explicitly. The
881 dataset is not mounted automatically when the dataset is created or imported,
882 nor is it mounted by the
884 command or unmounted by the
885 .Qq Nm Cm umount Fl a
888 This property is not inherited.
889 .It Sy checksum Ns = Ns Cm on | off | fletcher2 | fletcher4 | sha256 | noparity
890 Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is
892 which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently,
894 but this may change in future releases). The value
896 disables integrity checking on user data.
900 disables integrity but also disables maintaining parity for user data. This
901 setting is used internally by a dump device residing on a RAID-Z pool and should
902 not be used by any other dataset.
903 Disabling checksums is
905 a recommended practice.
906 .It Sy compression Ns = Ns Cm on | off | lzjb | gzip | gzip- Ns Ar N | zle | Cm lz4
907 Controls the compression algorithm used for this dataset. The
909 compression algorithm is optimized for performance while providing decent data
910 compression. Setting compression to
914 compression algorithm. The
916 compression algorithm uses the same compression as the
918 command. You can specify the
920 level by using the value
924 is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently,
928 (which is also the default for
932 compression algorithm compresses runs of zeros.
936 compression algorithm is a high-performance replacement
939 algorithm. It features significantly faster
940 compression and decompression, as well as a moderately higher
941 compression ratio than
943 but can only be used on pools with
950 for details on ZFS feature flags and the
954 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name
956 Changing this property affects only newly-written data.
957 .It Sy copies Ns = Ns Cm 1 | 2 | 3
958 Controls the number of copies of data stored for this dataset. These copies are
959 in addition to any redundancy provided by the pool, for example, mirroring or
960 RAID-Z. The copies are stored on different disks, if possible. The space used
961 by multiple copies is charged to the associated file and dataset, changing the
963 property and counting against quotas and reservations.
965 Changing this property only affects newly-written data. Therefore, set this
966 property at file system creation time by using the
967 .Fl o Cm copies= Ns Ar N
969 .It Sy dedup Ns = Ns Cm on | off | verify | sha256 Ns Op Cm ,verify
970 Configures deduplication for a dataset. The default value is
972 The default deduplication checksum is
974 (this may change in the future).
977 is enabled, the checksum defined here overrides the
979 property. Setting the value to
981 has the same effect as the setting
987 will do a byte-to-byte comparsion in case of two blocks having the same
988 signature to make sure the block contents are identical.
989 .It Sy devices Ns = Ns Cm on | off
992 property is currently not supported on
994 .It Sy exec Ns = Ns Cm on | off
995 Controls whether processes can be executed from within this file system. The
998 .It Sy mlslabel Ns = Ns Ar label | Cm none
1001 property is currently not supported on
1003 .It Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar path | Cm none | legacy
1004 Controls the mount point used for this file system. See the
1006 section for more information on how this property is used.
1010 property is changed for a file system, the file system and any children that
1011 inherit the mount point are unmounted. If the new value is
1013 then they remain unmounted. Otherwise, they are automatically remounted in the
1014 new location if the property was previously
1018 or if they were mounted before the property was changed. In addition, any
1019 shared file systems are unshared and shared in the new location.
1020 .It Sy nbmand Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1023 property is currently not supported on
1025 .It Sy primarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1026 Controls what is cached in the primary cache (ARC). If this property is set to
1028 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1030 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1032 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1034 .It Sy quota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1035 Limits the amount of space a dataset and its descendents can consume. This
1036 property enforces a hard limit on the amount of space used. This includes all
1037 space consumed by descendents, including file systems and snapshots. Setting a
1038 quota on a descendent of a dataset that already has a quota does not override
1039 the ancestor's quota, but rather imposes an additional limit.
1041 Quotas cannot be set on volumes, as the
1043 property acts as an implicit quota.
1044 .It Sy userquota@ Ns Ar user Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1045 Limits the amount of space consumed by the specified user.
1050 space calculation does not include space that is used by descendent datasets,
1051 such as snapshots and clones. User space consumption is identified by the
1052 .Sy userspace@ Ns Ar user
1055 Enforcement of user quotas may be delayed by several seconds. This delay means
1056 that a user might exceed their quota before the system notices that they are
1057 over quota and begins to refuse additional writes with the
1059 error message. See the

1098 .It Sy readonly Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1099 Controls whether this dataset can be modified. The default value is
1101 .It Sy recordsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1102 Specifies a suggested block size for files in the file system. This property is
1103 designed solely for use with database workloads that access files in fixed-size
1106 automatically tunes block sizes according to internal algorithms optimized for
1107 typical access patterns.
1109 For databases that create very large files but access them in small random
1110 chunks, these algorithms may be suboptimal. Specifying a
1112 greater than or equal to the record size of the database can result in
1113 significant performance gains. Use of this property for general purpose file
1114 systems is strongly discouraged, and may adversely affect performance.
1116 The size specified must be a power of two greater than or equal to 512 and less
1117 than or equal to 128 Kbytes.
1119 Changing the file system's
1121 affects only files created afterward; existing files are unaffected.
1123 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1125 .It Sy refquota Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1126 Limits the amount of space a dataset can consume. This property enforces a hard
1127 limit on the amount of space used. This hard limit does not include space used
1128 by descendents, including file systems and snapshots.
1129 .It Sy refreservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1130 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset, not including its
1131 descendents. When the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is
1132 treated as if it were taking up the amount of space specified by
1133 .Sy refreservation .
1136 reservation is accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and counts
1137 against the parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1141 is set, a snapshot is only allowed if there is enough free pool space outside
1142 of this reservation to accommodate the current number of "referenced" bytes in
1145 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1147 .It Sy reservation Ns = Ns Ar size | Cm none
1148 The minimum amount of space guaranteed to a dataset and its descendents. When
1149 the amount of space used is below this value, the dataset is treated as if it
1150 were taking up the amount of space specified by its reservation. Reservations
1151 are accounted for in the parent datasets' space used, and count against the
1152 parent datasets' quotas and reservations.
1154 This property can also be referred to by its shortened column name,
1156 .It Sy secondarycache Ns = Ns Cm all | none | metadata
1157 Controls what is cached in the secondary cache (L2ARC). If this property is set
1160 then both user data and metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1162 then neither user data nor metadata is cached. If this property is set to
1164 then only metadata is cached. The default value is
1166 .It Sy setuid Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1167 Controls whether the
1169 bit is respected for the file system. The default value is
1171 .It Sy sharesmb Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1174 property currently has no effect on
1176 .It Sy sharenfs Ns = Ns Cm on | off | Ar opts
1177 Controls whether the file system is shared via
1179 and what options are used. A file system with a
1183 is managed the traditional way via
1185 Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the
1189 commands. If the property is set to
1193 export options are used. Otherwise,
1195 export options are equivalent to the contents of this property. The export
1196 options may be comma-separated. See
1198 for a list of valid options.

1208 about handling of synchronous requests in this dataset.
1215 will use pool log devices (if configured) to handle the requests at low
1221 will not use configured pool log devices.
1223 will instead optimize synchronous operations for global pool throughput and
1224 efficient use of resources.
1225 .It Sy snapdir Ns = Ns Cm hidden | visible
1226 Controls whether the
1228 directory is hidden or visible in the root of the file system as discussed in
1231 section. The default value is
1233 .It Sy sync Ns = Ns Cm standard | always | disabled
1234 Controls the behavior of synchronous requests (e.g.
1236 O_DSYNC). This property accepts the following values:
1237 .Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 8n
1239 This is the POSIX specified behavior of ensuring all synchronous requests are
1240 written to stable storage and all devices are flushed to ensure data is not
1241 cached by device controllers (this is the default).
1243 All file system transactions are written and flushed before their system calls
1244 return. This has a large performance penalty.
1246 Disables synchronous requests. File system transactions are only committed to
1247 stable storage periodically. This option will give the highest performance.
1248 However, it is very dangerous as
1250 would be ignoring the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as
1253 Administrators should only use this option when the risks are understood.
1255 .It Sy volsize Ns = Ns Ar size
1256 For volumes, specifies the logical size of the volume. By default, creating a
1257 volume establishes a reservation of equal size. For storage pools with a
1258 version number of 9 or higher, a
1260 is set instead. Any changes to
1262 are reflected in an equivalent change to the reservation (or
1263 .Sy refreservation ) .
1266 can only be set to a multiple of
1270 The reservation is kept equal to the volume's logical size to prevent
1271 unexpected behavior for consumers. Without the reservation, the volume could
1272 run out of space, resulting in undefined behavior or data corruption, depending
1273 on how the volume is used. These effects can also occur when the volume size is
1274 changed while it is in use (particularly when shrinking the size). Extreme care
1275 should be used when adjusting the volume size.
1277 Though not recommended, a "sparse volume" (also known as "thin provisioning")
1278 can be created by specifying the
1281 .Qq Nm Cm create Fl V
1282 command, or by changing the reservation after the volume has been created. A
1283 "sparse volume" is a volume where the reservation is less then the volume size.
1284 Consequently, writes to a sparse volume can fail with
1286 when the pool is low on space. For a sparse volume, changes to
1288 are not reflected in the reservation.

1292 property is currently not supported on
1294 .It Sy xattr Ns = Ns Cm off | on
1297 property is currently not supported on

1302 section for more information. The default value is
1306 The following three properties cannot be changed after the file system is
1307 created, and therefore, should be set when the file system is created. If the
1308 properties are not set with the
1312 commands, these properties are inherited from the parent dataset. If the parent
1313 dataset lacks these properties due to having been created prior to these
1314 features being supported, the new file system will have the default values for
1317 .It Sy casesensitivity Ns = Ns Cm sensitive | insensitive | mixed
1320 property is currently not supported on
1322 .It Sy normalization Ns = Ns Cm none | formC | formD | formKC | formKD
1323 Indicates whether the file system should perform a
1325 normalization of file names whenever two file names are compared, and which
1326 normalization algorithm should be used. File names are always stored
1327 unmodified, names are normalized as part of any comparison process. If this
1328 property is set to a legal value other than
1332 property was left unspecified, the
1334 property is automatically set to

1340 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1341 .It Sy utf8only Ns = Ns Cm on | off
1342 Indicates whether the file system should reject file names that include
1343 characters that are not present in the
1345 character code set. If this property is explicitly set to
1347 the normalization property must either not be explicitly set or be set to
1349 The default value for the
1353 This property cannot be changed after the file system is created.
1357 .Sy casesensitivity , normalization , No and Sy utf8only
1358 properties are also new permissions that can be assigned to non-privileged
1361 delegated administration feature.
1362 .Ss Temporary Mount Point Properties
1363 When a file system is mounted, either through
1365 for legacy mounts or the
1367 command for normal file systems, its mount options are set according to its
1368 properties. The correlation between properties and mount options is as follows:
1369 .Bl -column -offset 4n "PROPERTY" "MOUNT OPTION"
1370 .It PROPERTY MOUNT OPTION
1371 .It atime atime/noatime
1372 .It exec exec/noexec
1374 .It setuid suid/nosuid
1377 In addition, these options can be set on a per-mount basis using the
1379 option, without affecting the property that is stored on disk. The values
1380 specified on the command line override the values stored in the dataset. These
1381 properties are reported as "temporary" by the
1383 command. If the properties are changed while the dataset is mounted, the new
1384 setting overrides any temporary settings.
1386 In addition to the standard native properties,
1388 supports arbitrary user properties. User properties have no effect on
1390 behavior, but applications or administrators can use them to annotate datasets
1391 (file systems, volumes, and snapshots).
1393 User property names must contain a colon
1395 character to distinguish them from native properties. They may contain
1396 lowercase letters, numbers, and the following punctuation characters: colon
1404 The expected convention is that the property name is divided into two portions
1406 .Em module Ns Sy \&: Ns Em property ,
1407 but this namespace is not enforced by
1409 User property names can be at most 256 characters, and cannot begin with a dash
1412 When making programmatic use of user properties, it is strongly suggested to
1417 component of property names to reduce the chance that two
1418 independently-developed packages use the same property name for different
1419 purposes. Property names beginning with
1421 are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
1423 The values of user properties are arbitrary strings, are always inherited, and
1424 are never validated. All of the commands that operate on properties
1431 can be used to manipulate both native properties and user properties. Use the
1433 command to clear a user property. If the property is not defined in any parent
1434 dataset, it is removed entirely. Property values are limited to 1024

1729 that the origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.
1731 The snapshot that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
1732 now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the origin file
1733 system to the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
1734 these snapshots. No new space is consumed by this operation, but the space
1735 accounting is adjusted. The promoted clone must not have any conflicting
