.Nm
.Fl ?V
.Nm
.Cm version
.Nm
.Cm <subcommand>
.Op Ar <args>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command configures ZFS storage pools.
A storage pool is a collection of devices that provides physical storage and
data replication for ZFS datasets.
All datasets within a storage pool share the same space.
See
.Xr zfs 8
for information on managing datasets.
.Pp
For an overview of creating and managing ZFS storage pools see the
.Xr zpoolconcepts 8
manual page.
.Sh SUBCOMMANDS
All subcommands that modify state are logged persistently to the pool in their
original form.
.Pp
The
.Nm
command provides subcommands to create and destroy storage pools, add capacity
to storage pools, and provide information about the storage pools.
The following subcommands are supported:
.Bl -tag -width Ds

While not recommended, a pool based on files can be useful for experimental
purposes.
.Bd -literal
# zpool create tank /path/to/file/a /path/to/file/b
.Ed
.It Sy Example 5 No Adding a Mirror to a ZFS Storage Pool
The following command adds two mirrored disks to the pool

assuming the pool is already made up of two-way mirrors.
The additional space is immediately available to any datasets within the pool.
.Bd -literal
# zpool add tank mirror sda sdb
.Ed
.It Sy Example 6 No Listing Available ZFS Storage Pools
The following command lists all available pools on the system.
In this case, the pool
.Em zion
is faulted due to a missing device.
The results from this command are similar to the following:
.Bd -literal
# zpool list
NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
rpool  19.9G  8.43G  11.4G         -    33%    42%  1.00x  ONLINE  -

.It Sy Example 7 No Destroying a ZFS Storage Pool
The following command destroys the pool
.Em tank
and any datasets contained within.
.Bd -literal
# zpool destroy -f tank
.Ed
.It Sy Example 8 No Exporting a ZFS Storage Pool
The following command exports the devices in pool
.Em tank
so that they can be relocated or later imported.
.Bd -literal
# zpool export tank
.Ed
.It Sy Example 9 No Importing a ZFS Storage Pool
The following command displays available pools, and then imports the pool
.Em tank
for use on the system.
The results from this command are similar to the following:
.Bd -literal
# zpool import
  pool: tank
    id: 15451357997522795478
 state: ONLINE
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
config:

        tank        ONLINE
          mirror    ONLINE
            sda     ONLINE
            sdb     ONLINE

# zpool import tank
.Ed
.It Sy Example 10 No Upgrading All ZFS Storage Pools to the Current Version
The following command upgrades all ZFS Storage pools to the current version of
the software.
.Bd -literal
# zpool upgrade -a
This system is currently running ZFS version 2.
.Ed
.It Sy Example 11 No Managing Hot Spares
The following command creates a new pool with an available hot spare:
.Bd -literal
# zpool create tank mirror sda sdb spare sdc
.Ed
.Pp
If one of the disks were to fail, the pool would be reduced to the degraded
state.
The failed device can be replaced using the following command:
.Bd -literal
# zpool replace tank sda sdd
.Ed
.Pp
Once the data has been resilvered, the spare is automatically removed and is
made available for use should another device fail.
The hot spare can be permanently removed from the pool using the following
command:
.Bd -literal
# zpool remove tank sdc
.Ed
.It Sy Example 12 No Creating a ZFS Pool with Mirrored Separate Intent Logs
The following command creates a ZFS storage pool consisting of two, two-way
mirrors and mirrored log devices:
.Bd -literal
# zpool create pool mirror sda sdb mirror sdc sdd log mirror \\
  sde sdf
.Ed
.It Sy Example 13 No Adding Cache Devices to a ZFS Pool
The following command adds two disks for use as cache devices to a ZFS storage
pool:
.Bd -literal
# zpool add pool cache sdc sdd
.Ed
.Pp
Once added, the cache devices gradually fill with content from main memory.
Depending on the size of your cache devices, it could take over an hour for
them to fill.
Capacity and reads can be monitored using the
.Cm iostat
option as follows:
.Bd -literal
# zpool iostat -v pool 5
.Ed
.It Sy Example 14 No Removing a Mirrored top-level (Log or Data) Device
The following commands remove the mirrored log device
.Sy mirror-2
and mirrored top-level data device
.Sy mirror-1 .

.It Sy Example 15 No Displaying expanded space on a device
The following command displays the detailed information for the pool
.Em data .
This pool is comprised of a single raidz vdev where one of its devices
increased its capacity by 10GB.
In this example, the pool will not be able to utilize this extra capacity until
all the devices under the raidz vdev have been expanded.

Cause
.Nm zpool
subcommands to output vdev guids by default.  This behavior is identical to the

would fail when listing the config.
This would also be true for future Linux based pools.
.Pp
A pool can be stripped of any
