NAME
zinject - ZFS Fault Injector
DESCRIPTION
zinject creates artificial problems in a ZFS pool by simulating data
corruption or device failures. This program is dangerous.
SYNOPSIS
zinject
List injection records.
zinject -b objset:object:level:start:end
[-f frequency]
-amu
[pool]
Force an error into the pool at a bookmark.
zinject -c id|all
Cancel injection records.
zinject -d vdev
-A degrade|fault
pool
Force a vdev into the DEGRADED or FAULTED state.
zinject -d vdev
-D latency:lanes
pool
Add an artificial delay to I/O requests on a particular device,
such that the requests take a minimum of latency milliseconds to
complete. Each delay has an associated number of lanes which
defines the number of concurrent I/O requests that can be
processed.
For example, with a single lane delay of 10 ms (-D 10:1), the
device will only be able to service a single I/O request at a
time with each request taking 10 ms to complete. So, if only a
single request is submitted every 10 ms, the average latency will
be 10 ms; but if more than one request is submitted every 10 ms,
the average latency will be more than 10 ms.
Similarly, if a delay of 10 ms is specified to have two lanes (-D
10:2), then the device will be able to service two requests at a
time, each with a minimum latency of 10 ms. So, if two requests
are submitted every 10 ms, then the average latency will be 10
ms; but if more than two requests are submitted every 10 ms, the
average latency will be more than 10 ms.
Also note, these delays are additive. So two invocations of -D
10:1 are roughly equivalent to a single invocation of -D 10:2.
This also means, that one can specify multiple lanes with
differing target latencies. For example, an invocation of -D
10:1 followed by -D 25:2 will create 3 lanes on the device: one
lane with a latency of 10 ms and two lanes with a 25 ms latency.
zinject -d vdev
[-e device_error]
zinject -I
[-s seconds|-g txgs]
pool
Simulate a hardware failure that fails to honor a cache flush.
zinject -p function
pool
Panic inside the specified function.
zinject -t data
-C dvas
[-e device_error]
[-f frequency]
[-l level]
[-r range]
[-amq]
path
Force an error into the contents of a file.
zinject -t dnode
-C dvas
[-e device_error]
[-f frequency]
[-l level]
[-amq]
path
Force an error into the metadnode for a file or directory.
zinject -t mos_type
-C dvas
[-e device_error]
[-f frequency]
[-l level]
[-r range]
[-amqu]
pool
Force an error into the MOS of a pool.
OPTIONS
-a Flush the ARC before injection.
-b objset:object:level:start:end
Force an error into the pool at this bookmark tuple. Each
number is in hexadecimal, and only one block can be specified.
-C dvas Inject the given error only into specific DVAs. The mask should
be specified as a list of 0-indexed DVAs separated by commas
(e.g. 0,2). This option is not applicable to logical data errors
such as decompress and decrypt.
-d vdev A vdev specified by path or GUID.
-e device_error
Specify
checksum for an ECKSUM error,
decompress for a data decompression error,
decrypt for a data decryption error,
corrupt to flip a bit in the data after a read,
dtl for an ECHILD error,
pipeline so it appears the read or write failed. Decryption
errors only currently work with file data.
-f frequency
Only inject errors a fraction of the time. Expressed as a real
number percentage between 0.0001 and 100.
-F Fail faster. Do fewer checks.
-f txgs Run for this many transaction groups before reporting failure.
-h Print the usage message.
-l level
Inject an error at a particular block level. The default is 0.
-L label_error
Set the label error region to one of nvlist, pad1, pad2, or
uber.
-m Automatically remount the underlying filesystem.
-q Quiet mode. Only print the handler number added.
-r range
Inject an error over a particular logical range of an object,
which will be translated to the appropriate blkid range
according to the object's properties.
-s seconds
Run for this many seconds before reporting failure.
-T failure
Set the failure type to one of all, claim, free, read, or write.
-t mos_type
Set this to
mos for any data in the MOS,
mosdir for an object directory,
config for the pool configuration,
bpobj for the block pointer list,
spacemap for the space map,
metaslab for the metaslab, or
errlog for the persistent error log.
-u Unload the pool after injection.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ZFS_HOSTID
Run zinject in debug mode.
