NAME

zhack - libzpool debugging tool

DESCRIPTION

This utility pokes configuration changes directly into a ZFS pool, which is dangerous and can cause data corruption.

SYNOPSIS

zhack [-c cachefile] [-d dir] <subcommand> [arguments]

OPTIONS

-c cachefile
: Read the pool configuration from the cachefile, which is /etc/zfs/zpool.cache by default.
-d dir
: Search for pool members in the dir path. Can be specified more than once.

SUBCOMMANDS

feature stat pool

: List feature flags.

feature enable [-d description] [-r] pool guid

: Add a new feature to pool that is uniquely identified by guid, which is specified in the same form as a zfs(8) user property.
: The description is a short human readable explanation of the new feature.
: The -r switch indicates that pool can be safely opened in read-only mode by a system that does not have the guid feature.

feature ref [-d|-m] pool guid

: Increment the reference count of the guid feature in pool.
: The -d switch decrements the reference count of the guid feature in pool.
: The -m switch indicates that the guid feature is now required to read the pool MOS.
