NAME

       zfs-fuse - ZFS filesystem daemon

SYNOPSIS

       zfs-fuse [--pidfile filename] [--no-daemon] [--no-kstat-mount] [--disable-block-cache]
                [--disable-page-cache] [--fuse-attr-timeout SECONDS]
                [--fuse-entry-timeout SECONDS] [--log-uberblocks] [--max-arc-size MB]
                [--fuse-mount-options OPT,OPT,OPT...] [--min-uberblock-txg MIN]
                [--stack-size=size] [--enable-xattr] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the zfs-fuse command.

       zfs-fuse is a daemon which provides support for the ZFS filesystem, via fuse. Ordinarily
       this daemon will be invoked from system boot scripts.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
       two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see
       the Info files.

       -h --help
           Show summary of options.

       -p filename --pidfile filename
           Write the daemon's PID to filename after daemonizing. Ignored if --no-daemon is
           passed.  filename should be a fully-qualified path.

       -n --no-daemon
           Stay in foreground, don't daemonize.

       --no-kstat-mount
           Do not mount kstats in /zfs-kstat

       --disable-block-cache
           Enable direct I/O for disk operations. Completely disables caching reads and writes in
           the kernel block cache. Breaks mmap() in ZFS datasets too.

       --disable-page-cache
           Disable the page cache for files residing within ZFS filesystems. Not recommended as
           it slows down I/O operations considerably.

       -a SECONDS --fuse-attr-timeout SECONDS
           Sets timeout for caching FUSE attributes in kernel. Defaults to 0.0. Higher values
           give a 40% performance boost.

       -e SECONDS --fuse-entry-timeout SECONDS
           Sets timeout for caching FUSE entries in kernel. Defaults to 0.0. Higher values give a
           10000% performance boost but cause file permission checking security issues.

       --log-uberblocks
           Logs uberblocks of any mounted filesystem to syslog

       -m MB --max-arc-size MB
           Forces the maximum ARC size (in megabytes). Range: 16 to 16384.

       -o OPT... --fuse-mount-options OPT,OPT,OPT...
           Sets FUSE mount options for all filesystems. Format: comma-separated string of
           characters.

       -u MIN --min-uberblock-txg MIN
           Skips uberblocks with a TXG < MIN when mounting any fs

       -v MB --vdev-cache-size MB
           adjust the size of the vdev cache. Default : 10

       --zfs-prefetch-disable
           Disable the high level prefetch cache in zfs. This thing can eat up to 150 Mb of ram,
           maybe more

       --stack-size=size
           Limit the stack size of threads (in kb). default : no limit (8 Mb for linux)

       -x --enable-xattr
           Enable support for extended attributes. Not generally recommended because it currently
           has a significant performance penalty for many small IOPS

       -h --help
           Show this usage summary.

REMARKS ON PRECEDENCE

       Note that the parameters passed on the command line take precedence over those supplied
       through /etc/zfs/zfsrc.

BUGS/CAVEATS

       The path to the configuration file (/etc/zfs/zfsrc) cannot at this time be configured.

       Most existing packages suggest settings can be set at the top of their init script. These
       get frequently overridden by a (distribution specific) /etc/default/zfs-fuse file, if it
       exists. Be sure to look at these places if you want your changes to options to take
       effect.

       The /etc/zfs/zfsrc is going to be the recommended approach in the future. So, packagers,
       please refrain from passing commandline parameters within the initscript (except for
       --pid-file).
