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

						|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
 | 
						|
.It Fl c , -cancel
 | 
						|
Cancel initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible devices if none
 | 
						|
are specified.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
initialized, the command will fail and no cancellation will occur on any device.
 | 
						|
.It Fl s , -suspend
 | 
						|
Suspend initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible devices if none
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
initialized, the command will fail and no suspension will occur on any device.
 | 
						|
Initializing can then be resumed by running
 | 
						|
.Nm zpool Cm initialize
 | 
						|
with no flags on the relevant target devices.
 | 
						|
.It Fl u , -uninit
 | 
						|
Clears the initialization state on the specified devices, or all eligible
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
If the devices are being actively initialized the command will fail.
 | 
						|
After being cleared
 | 
						|
.Nm zpool Cm initialize
 | 
						|
with no flags can be used to re-initialize all unallocoated regions on
 | 
						|
the relevant target devices.
