ZFS-SET(8)		    System Manager's Manual		    ZFS-SET(8)

NAME
       zfs-set -- set properties on ZFS	datasets

SYNOPSIS
       zfs set [-u] property=value [property=value] filesystem|volume|snapshot
       zfs get [-r|-d depth] [-Hp] [-o field[,field]] [-s source[,source]] [-t
	   type[,type]]				       all|property[,property]
	   [filesystem|volume|snapshot|bookmark]
       zfs inherit [-rS] property filesystem|volume|snapshot

DESCRIPTION
       zfs set [-u] property=value [property=value] filesystem|volume|snapshot
	 Only some properties can be edited.  See zfsprops(7) for more	infor-
	 mation	 on what properties can	be set and acceptable values.  Numeric
	 values	can be specified as exact values, or in	a human-readable  form
	 with  a  suffix  of  B,  K,  M,  G, T,	P, E, Z	(for bytes, kilobytes,
	 megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, or  zettabytes,
	 respectively).	  User	properties  can	be set on snapshots.  For more
	 information, see the User Properties section of zfsprops(7).

	 -u  Update mountpoint,	sharenfs, sharesmb property but	do  not	 mount
	     or	share the dataset.

       zfs get [-r|-d depth] [-Hp] [-o field[,field]] [-s source[,source]] [-t
	 type[,type]]				       all|property[,property]
	 [filesystem|volume|snapshot|bookmark]
	 Displays properties for the given datasets.  If no datasets are spec-
	 ified,	then the command displays properties for all datasets  on  the
	 system.  For each property, the following columns are displayed:
	     name      Dataset name
	     property  Property	name
	     value     Property	value
	     source    Property	 source	 local,	default, inherited, temporary,
		       received, or - (none).

	 All columns are displayed by default, though this can	be  controlled
	 by using the -o option.  This command takes a comma-separated list of
	 properties   as  described  in	 the  "Native  Properties"  and	 "User
	 Properties" sections of zfsprops(7).

	 The value all can be used to display all properties that apply	to the
	 given dataset's type (filesystem, volume, snapshot, or	bookmark).

	 -H	    Display output in a	form more easily  parsed  by  scripts.
		    Any	 headers  are omitted, and fields are explicitly sepa-
		    rated by a single tab instead of an	 arbitrary  amount  of
		    space.

	 -d depth   Recursively	 display any children of the dataset, limiting
		    the	recursion to depth.  A depth of	1  will	 display  only
		    the	dataset	and its	direct children.

	 -o field   A  comma-separated list of columns to display, defaults to
		    name,property,value,source.

	 -p	    Display numbers in parsable	(exact)	values.

	 -r	    Recursively	display	properties for any children.

	 -s source  A comma-separated list of sources to display.  Those prop-
		    erties coming from a source	other than those in this  list
		    are	 ignored.   Each  source must be one of	the following:
		    local, default, inherited, temporary, received,  or	 none.
		    The	default	value is all sources.

	 -t type    A  comma-separated list of types to	display, where type is
		    one	of filesystem, snapshot, volume, bookmark, or all.

       zfs inherit [-rS] property filesystem|volume|snapshot
	 Clears	the specified property,	causing	it to be inherited from	an an-
	 cestor, restored to default if	no ancestor has	the property  set,  or
	 with the -S option reverted to	the received value if one exists.  See
	 zfsprops(7)  for  a  listing  of default values, and details on which
	 properties can	be inherited.

	 -r  Recursively inherit the given property for	all children.

	 -S  Revert the	property to the	received value,	if one exists;	other-
	     wise,  for	non-inheritable	properties, to the default; otherwise,
	     operate as	if the -S option was not specified.

EXAMPLES
   Example 1: Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy
       The following commands create a file system named pool/home and a  file
       system  named  pool/home/bob.   The mount point /export/home is set for
       the parent file system, and is automatically  inherited	by  the	 child
       file system.
	     # zfs create pool/home
	     # zfs set mountpoint=/export/home pool/home
	     # zfs create pool/home/bob

   Example 2: Disabling	and Enabling File System Compression
       The  following  command	disables the compression property for all file
       systems	under  pool/home.   The	 next	command	  explicitly   enables
       compression for pool/home/anne.
	     # zfs set compression=off pool/home
	     # zfs set compression=on pool/home/anne

   Example 3: Setting a	Quota on a ZFS File System
       The following command sets a quota of 50	Gbytes for pool/home/bob:
	     # zfs set quota=50G pool/home/bob

   Example 4: Listing ZFS Properties
       The following command lists all properties for pool/home/bob:
	     # zfs get all pool/home/bob
	     NAME	    PROPERTY		  VALUE			 SOURCE
	     pool/home/bob  type		  filesystem		 -
	     pool/home/bob  creation		  Tue Jul 21 15:53 2009	 -
	     pool/home/bob  used		  21K			 -
	     pool/home/bob  available		  20.0G			 -
	     pool/home/bob  referenced		  21K			 -
	     pool/home/bob  compressratio	  1.00x			 -
	     pool/home/bob  mounted		  yes			 -
	     pool/home/bob  quota		  20G			 local
	     pool/home/bob  reservation		  none			 default
	     pool/home/bob  recordsize		  128K			 default
	     pool/home/bob  mountpoint		  /pool/home/bob	 default
	     pool/home/bob  sharenfs		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  checksum		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  compression		  on			 local
	     pool/home/bob  atime		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  devices		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  exec		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  setuid		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  readonly		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  zoned		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  snapdir		  hidden		 default
	     pool/home/bob  acltype		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  aclmode		  discard		 default
	     pool/home/bob  aclinherit		  restricted		 default
	     pool/home/bob  canmount		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  xattr		  on			 default
	     pool/home/bob  copies		  1			 default
	     pool/home/bob  version		  4			 -
	     pool/home/bob  utf8only		  off			 -
	     pool/home/bob  normalization	  none			 -
	     pool/home/bob  casesensitivity	  sensitive		 -
	     pool/home/bob  vscan		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  nbmand		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  sharesmb		  off			 default
	     pool/home/bob  refquota		  none			 default
	     pool/home/bob  refreservation	  none			 default
	     pool/home/bob  primarycache	  all			 default
	     pool/home/bob  secondarycache	  all			 default
	     pool/home/bob  usedbysnapshots	  0			 -
	     pool/home/bob  usedbydataset	  21K			 -
	     pool/home/bob  usedbychildren	  0			 -
	     pool/home/bob  usedbyrefreservation  0			 -

       The following command gets a single property value:
	     # zfs get -H -o value compression pool/home/bob
	     on

       The  following  command	lists  all  properties with local settings for
       pool/home/bob:
	     # zfs get -r -s local -o name,property,value all pool/home/bob
	     NAME	    PROPERTY		  VALUE
	     pool/home/bob  quota		  20G
	     pool/home/bob  compression		  on

   Example 5: Inheriting ZFS Properties
       The following command causes pool/home/bob and  pool/home/anne  to  in-
       herit the checksum property from	their parent.
	     # zfs inherit checksum pool/home/bob pool/home/anne

   Example 6: Setting User Properties
       The  following  example	sets  the  user-defined	com.example:department
       property	for a dataset:
	     # zfs set com.example:department=12345 tank/accounting

   Example 7: Setting sharenfs Property	Options	on a ZFS File System
       The following commands show how to set sharenfs property	options	to en-
       able read-write access for a set	of IP addresses	and to enable root ac-
       cess for	system "neo" on	the tank/home file system:
	     # zfs set sharenfs='rw=@123.123.0.0/16:[::1],root=neo' tank/home

       If you are using	DNS for	host name resolution, specify the fully-quali-
       fied hostname.
