ZPOOL-INITIALIZE(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual ZPOOL-INITIALIZE(8)
NAME
zpool-initialize - write to unallocated regions of ZFS storage pool
SYNOPSIS
zpool initialize [-c|-s |-u] [-w] pool [device]<?>
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.
-c, --cancel
Cancel initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible
devices if none are specified. If one or more target devices are
invalid or are not currently being initialized, the command will
fail and no cancellation will occur on any device.
-s, --suspend
Suspend initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible
devices if none are specified. If one or more target devices are
invalid or are not currently being initialized, the command will
fail and no suspension will occur on any device. Initializing
can then be resumed by running zpool initialize with no flags on
the relevant target devices.
-u, --uninit
Clears the initialization state on the specified devices, or all
eligible devices if none are specified. If the devices are being
actively initialized the command will fail. After being cleared
zpool initialize with no flags can be used to re-initialize all
unallocoated regions on the relevant target devices.
-w, --wait
Wait until the devices have finished initializing before
returning.
