32.Sh NAME
33.Nm zpool-add
34.Nd add vdevs to ZFS storage pool
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Nm zpool
37.Cm add
38.Op Fl fgLnP
39.Oo Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value Oc
40.Ar pool vdev Ns …
41.
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43Adds the specified virtual devices to the given pool.
44The
45.Ar vdev
46specification is described in the
47.Em Virtual Devices
48section of
49.Xr zpoolconcepts 8 .
50The behavior of the
51.Fl f
52option, and the device checks performed are described in the
53.Nm zpool Cm create
54subcommand.
55.Bl -tag -width Ds
56.It Fl f
57Forces use of
58.Ar vdev Ns s ,
59even if they appear in use or specify a conflicting replication level.
60Not all devices can be overridden in this manner.
61.It Fl g
62Display
63.Ar vdev ,
64GUIDs instead of the normal device names.
65These GUIDs can be used in place of
66device names for the zpool detach/offline/remove/replace commands.
67.It Fl L
68Display real paths for
69.Ar vdev Ns s
70resolving all symbolic links.
71This can be used to look up the current block
72device name regardless of the
73.Pa /dev/disk
74path used to open it.
75.It Fl n
76Displays the configuration that would be used without actually adding the
77.Ar vdev Ns s .
78The actual pool creation can still fail due to insufficient privileges or
79device sharing.
80.It Fl P
81Display real paths for
82.Ar vdev Ns s
83instead of only the last component of the path.
84This can be used in conjunction with the
85.Fl L
86flag.
87.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
88Sets the given pool properties.
89See the
90.Xr zpoolprops 8
91manual page for a list of valid properties that can be set.
92The only property supported at the moment is
93.Sy ashift .
