ZPOOL-INITIALIZE(8)	    System Manager's Manual	   ZPOOL-INITIALIZE(8)

NAME
       zpool-initialize	-- write to unallocated	regions	of ZFS storage pool

SYNOPSIS
       zpool initialize	[-c|-s |-u] [-w] pool [device]

DESCRIPTION
       Begins initializing by writing to all unallocated regions on the	speci-
       fied  devices, or all eligible devices in the pool if no	individual de-
       vices are specified.  Only leaf data or log devices may be initialized.

       -c, --cancel
	       Cancel initializing on the specified devices, or	 all  eligible
	       devices	if  none are specified.	 If one	or more	target devices
	       are invalid or are not currently	being initialized, the command
	       will fail and no	cancellation will occur	on any device.

       -s, --suspend
	       Suspend initializing on the specified devices, or all  eligible
	       devices	if  none are specified.	 If one	or more	target devices
	       are invalid or are not currently	being initialized, the command
	       will fail and no	suspension will	occur on any device.  Initial-
	       izing can then be resumed by running zpool initialize  with  no
	       flags on	the relevant target devices.

       -u, --uninit
	       Clears  the  initialization  state on the specified devices, or
	       all eligible devices if none are	specified.  If the devices are
	       being actively initialized the command will fail.  After	 being
	       cleared	zpool  initialize with no flags	can be used to re-ini-
	       tialize all unallocated regions on the relevant target devices.

       -w, --wait
	       Wait until the devices have finished  initializing  before  re-
	       turning.
