18 This manual page documents briefly the zfs-fuse command.
19
20 zfs-fuse is a daemon which provides support for the ZFS filesystem, via
21 fuse. Ordinarily this daemon will be invoked from system boot scripts.
22
24 This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
25 options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
26 included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
27
28 -h --help
29 Show summary of options.
30
31 -p filename --pidfile filename
32 Write the daemon's PID to filename after daemonizing. Ignored if
33 --no-daemon is passed. filename should be a fully-qualified path.
34
35 -n --no-daemon
36 Stay in foreground, don't daemonize.
37
38 --no-kstat-mount
39 Do not mount kstats in /zfs-kstat
40
41 --disable-block-cache
42 Enable direct I/O for disk operations. Completely disables caching
43 reads and writes in the kernel block cache. Breaks mmap() in ZFS
44 datasets too.
45
46 --disable-page-cache
47 (obsolete; option no longer has any effect)
48
49 -a SECONDS --fuse-attr-timeout SECONDS
50 Sets timeout for caching FUSE attributes in kernel. Defaults to
51 0.0. Higher values give a 40% performance boost.
52
53 -e SECONDS --fuse-entry-timeout SECONDS
54 Sets timeout for caching FUSE entries in kernel. Defaults to 0.0.
55 Higher values give a 10000% performance boost but cause file
56 permission checking security issues.
57
58 --log-uberblocks
59 Logs uberblocks of any mounted filesystem to syslog
60
61 -m MB --max-arc-size MB
62 Forces the maximum ARC size (in megabytes). Range: 16 to 16384.
63
64 -o OPT... --fuse-mount-options OPT,OPT,OPT...
65 Sets FUSE mount options for all filesystems. Format:
66 comma-separated string of characters.
67
68 -u MIN --min-uberblock-txg MIN
69 Skips uberblocks with a TXG < MIN when mounting any fs
70
71 -v MB --vdev-cache-size MB
72 adjust the size of the vdev cache. Default : 10
73
74 --zfs-prefetch-disable
75 Disable the high level prefetch cache in zfs. This thing can eat up
76 to 150 Mb of ram, maybe more
77
78 --stack-size=size
79 Limit the stack size of threads (in kb). default : no limit (8 Mb
80 for linux)
81
82 -x --enable-xattr
83 Enable support for extended attributes. Not generally recommended
84 because it currently has a significant performance penalty for many
85 small IOPS
86
87 -h --help
88 Show this usage summary.
89
91 Note that the parameters passed on the command line take precedence
92 over those supplied through /etc/zfs/zfsrc.
93
95 The path to the configuration file (/etc/zfs/zfsrc) cannot at this time
96 be configured.
97
98 Most existing packages suggest settings can be set at the top of their
99 init script. These get frequently overridden by a (distribution
100 specific) /etc/default/zfs-fuse file, if it exists. Be sure to look at
101 these places if you want your changes to options to take effect.
102
103 The /etc/zfs/zfsrc is going to be the recommended approach in the
104 future. So, packagers, please refrain from passing commandline
105 parameters within the initscript (except for --pid-file).
