Make the section heading more generic (the section relates to ZFS files as well as ZFS volumes). Swapping to a ZFS volume is prone to deadlock. Remove the related instruction, direct readers to OpenZFS FAQ. Related, but not linked from within the manual page: <https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Project%20and%20Community/FAQ.html#using-a-zvol-for-a-swap-device-on-linux> (Using a zvol for a swap device on Linux).

.Ar filesystem
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Creates a new ZFS file system.
|
|
The file system is automatically mounted according to the
|
|
.Sy mountpoint
|
|
property inherited from the parent, unless the
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option is used.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-o"
|
|
.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
Sets the specified property as if the command
|
|
.Nm zfs Cm set Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
was invoked at the same time the dataset was created.
|
|
Any editable ZFS property can also be set at creation time.
|
|
Multiple
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options can be specified.
|
|
An error results if the same property is specified in multiple
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Creates all the non-existing parent datasets.
|
|
Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the
|
|
.Sy mountpoint
|
|
property inherited from their parent.
|
|
Any property specified on the command line using the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option is ignored.
|
|
If the target filesystem already exists, the operation completes successfully.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do a dry-run
|
|
.Pq Qq No-op
|
|
creation.
|
|
No datasets will be created.
|
|
This is useful in conjunction with the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
flags to validate properties that are passed via
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options and those implied by other options.
|
|
The actual dataset creation can still fail due to insufficient privileges or
|
|
available capacity.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the created dataset.
|
|
Each line of output contains a key and one or two values, all separated by tabs.
|
|
The
|
|
.Sy create_ancestors
|
|
and
|
|
.Sy create
|
|
keys have
|
|
.Em filesystem
|
|
as their only value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Sy create_ancestors
|
|
key only appears if the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
option is used.
|
|
The
|
|
.Sy property
|
|
key has two values, a property name that property's value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Sy property
|
|
key may appear zero or more times, once for each property that will be set local
|
|
to
|
|
.Em filesystem
|
|
due to the use of the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Do not mount the newly created file system.
|
|
.It Fl v
|

Print verbose information about the created dataset.

|
|
.Fl V Ar size Ar volume
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Creates a volume of the given size.
|
|
The volume is exported as a block device in
|
|
.Pa /dev/zvol/path ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Em path
|
|
is the name of the volume in the ZFS namespace.
|
|
The size represents the logical size as exported by the device.
|
|
By default, a reservation of equal size is created.
|
|

is automatically rounded up to the nearest multiple of the

.Sy blocksize .
|

.Bl -tag -width "-b"
|

.It Fl b Ar blocksize
|
|
Equivalent to

|
|
If this option is specified in conjunction with
|
|
.Fl o Sy volblocksize ,
|
|
the resulting behavior is undefined.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
Sets the specified property as if the

.Nm zfs Cm set Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
command was invoked at the same time the dataset was created.
|
|
Any editable ZFS property can also be set at creation time.

Multiple
|

options can be specified.

An error results if the same property is specified in multiple

If the target filesystem already exists, the operation completes successfully.

|
|
Creates a sparse volume with no reservation.

.Ss ZFS for Swap
|
|
Swapping to a ZFS volume is prone to deadlock and not recommended.
|
|
See OpenZFS FAQ.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Swapping to a file on a ZFS filesystem is not supported.
|
|
.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
.\" These are, respectively, examples 1, 10 from zfs.8
|
|
.\" Make sure to update them bidirectionally
|
|
.Ss Example 1 : No Creating a ZFS File System Hierarchy
|
|
The following commands create a file system named
|
|
.Ar pool/home
|
|
and a file system named
|
|
.Ar pool/home/bob .
|
|
The mount point
|
|
.Pa /export/home
|
|
is set for the parent file system, and is automatically inherited by the child
|
|
file system.
|
|
.Dl # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/home
|
|
.Dl # Nm zfs Cm set Sy mountpoint Ns = Ns Ar /export/home pool/home
|
|
.Dl # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/home/bob
|
|
.
|
|
.Ss Example 2 : No Promoting a ZFS Clone
|
|
The following commands illustrate how to test out changes to a file system, and
|
|
then replace the original file system with the changed one, using clones, clone
|
|
promotion, and renaming:
|
|
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/project/production
|
|
populate /pool/project/production with data
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm snapshot Ar pool/project/production Ns @ Ns Ar today
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm clone Ar pool/project/production@today pool/project/beta
|
|
make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm promote Ar pool/project/beta
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/beta pool/project/production
|
|
once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
|
|
.No # Nm zfs Cm destroy Ar pool/project/legacy
