NAME

       zfs-events - Events created by the ZFS filesystem.

DESCRIPTION

       Description of the different events generated by the ZFS stack.

       Most  of  these  don't  have  any description. The events generated by ZFS have never been
       publicly  documented.   What  is  here  is  intended  as  a  starting  point  to   provide
       documentation for all possible events.

       To  view  all  events  created  since  the  loading  of  the ZFS infrastructure (i.e, "the
       module"), run

       zpool events

       to get a short list, and

       zpool events -v

       to get a full detail of the events and what information is available about it.

       This man page lists the different subclasses that are issued in the case of an event.  The
       full event name would be ereport.fs.zfs.SUBCLASS, but we only list the last part here.

   EVENTS (SUBCLASS)
       checksum
                   Issued when a checksum error has been detected.

       io
                   Issued when there is an I/O error in a vdev in the pool.

       data
                   Issued when there have been data errors in the pool.

       deadman
                   Issued  when  an  I/O  is  determined to be "hung", this can be caused by lost
                   completion   events   due   to   flaky   hardware   or   drivers.    See   the
                   zfs_deadman_failmode  module  option  description  for  additional information
                   regarding "hung" I/O detection and configuration.

       delay
                   Issued when a completed I/O exceeds the maximum allowed time specified by  the
                   zio_slow_io_ms  module  option.  This can be an indicator of problems with the
                   underlying storage device.  The number of delay events is ratelimited  by  the
                   zfs_slow_io_events_per_second module parameter.

       config.sync
                   Issued every time a vdev change have been done to the pool.

       zpool
                   Issued when a pool cannot be imported.

       zpool.destroy
                   Issued when a pool is destroyed.

       zpool.export
                   Issued when a pool is exported.

       zpool.import
                   Issued when a pool is imported.

       zpool.reguid

                   regenerated) have been detected.

       vdev.unknown
                   Issued when the vdev is unknown. Such as trying to clear device  errors  on  a
                   vdev  that  have  failed/been  kicked  from  the  system/pool and is no longer
                   available.

       vdev.open_failed
                   Issued when a vdev could not be opened (because it didn't exist for example).

       vdev.corrupt_data
                   Issued when corrupt data have been detected on a vdev.

       vdev.no_replicas
                   Issued when there are no more replicas to sustain the pool.  This  would  lead
                   to the pool being DEGRADED.

                   Issued when a missing device in the pool have been detected.

       vdev.too_small
                   Issued  when  the  system (kernel) have removed a device, and ZFS notices that
                   the device isn't there any more. This is usually followed by  a  probe_failure
                   event.

       vdev.bad_label
                   Issued when the label is OK but invalid.

       vdev.bad_ashift
                   Issued when the ashift alignment requirement has increased.

       vdev.remove
                   Issued  when a vdev is detached from a mirror (or a spare detached from a vdev
                   where it have been used to replace a failed drive - only works if the original
                   drive have been readded).

       vdev.clear
                   Issued when clearing device errors in a pool. Such as running zpool clear on a
                   device in the pool.

       vdev.check
                   Issued when a check to see if a given vdev could be opened is started.

       vdev.spare
                   Issued when a spare have kicked in to replace a failed device.

       vdev.autoexpand
                   Issued when a vdev can be automatically expanded.

       io_failure
                   Issued when there is an I/O failure in a vdev in the pool.

       probe_failure
                   Issued when a probe fails on a vdev. This would occur  if  a  vdev  have  been
                   kicked  from  the  system  outside of ZFS (such as the kernel have removed the
                   device).

       log_replay
                   Issued when the intent log cannot be replayed.  The can occur in the case of a
                   missing or damaged log device.

       resilver.start
                   Issued when a resilver is started.

                   The time elapsed (in nanoseconds) waiting for the block layer to complete  the
                   I/O.   Unlike  zio_delta  this  does  not include any vdev queuing time and is
                   therefore solely a measure of the block layer performance.

       zio_timestamp
                   The time when a given I/O was submitted.

       cksum_algorithm
                   Checksum  algorithm  used.  See  zfs(8)  for  more  information  on   checksum
                   algorithms available.

       cksum_byteswap
                   Whether or not the data is byteswapped.

       bad_ranges
                   [start,  end)  pairs  of  corruption  offsets. Offsets are always aligned on a
                   64-bit  boundary,  and  can  include  some  gaps  of   non-corruption.    (See
                   bad_ranges_min_gap)

       bad_ranges_min_gap
                   In  order  to  bound  the size of the bad_ranges array, gaps of non-corruption
                   less than or equal to bad_ranges_min_gap bytes have been merged with  adjacent
                   corruption.  Always at least 8 bytes, since corruption is detected on a 64-bit
                   word basis.

       bad_range_sets
                   This array has one element per range in bad_ranges. Each element contains  the
                   count  of  bits in that range which were clear in the good data and set in the
                   bad data.

       bad_range_clears
                   This array has one element per range in bad_ranges. Each element contains  the
                   count  of bits for that range which were set in the good data and clear in the
                   bad data.

       bad_set_bits
                   If this field exists, it is an array of: (bad data & ~(good data));  that  is,
                   the  bits set in the bad data which are cleared in the good data. Each element
                   corresponds a byte whose offset is in a range in bad_ranges, and the array  is
                   ordered  by  offset.  Thus,  the  first element is the first byte in the first
                   bad_ranges range, and the last element is the last byte in the last bad_ranges
                   range.

       bad_cleared_bits
                   Like  bad_set_bits, but contains: (good data & ~(bad data)); that is, the bits
                   set in the good data which are cleared in the bad data.

       bad_set_histogram
                   If this field exists, it is an array of counters. Each entry counts  bits  set
                   in  a  particular bit of a big-endian uint64 type. The first entry counts bits
                   set in the high-order bit of the first byte, the 9th byte, etc, and  the  last
                   entry  counts  bits  set  of the low-order bit of the 8th byte, the 16th byte,
                   etc.  This information is useful for observing a stuck bit in a parallel  data
                   path, such as IDE or parallel SCSI.

       bad_cleared_histogram
                   If this field exists, it is an array of counters. Each entry counts bit clears
                   in a particular bit of a big-endian uint64 type. The first entry  counts  bits
                   clears  of  the  high-order  bit of the first byte, the 9th byte, etc, and the
                   last entry counts clears of the low-order bit of the 8th byte, the 16th  byte,
                   etc.  This  information is useful for observing a stuck bit in a parallel data
                   path, such as IDE or parallel SCSI.

   I/O STAGES
       The ZFS I/O pipeline is  comprised  of  various  stages  which  are  defined  below.   The
       individual  stages  are  used  to construct these basic I/O operations: Read, Write, Free,
       Claim, and Ioctl.  These stages may be set on an event to describe the  life  cycle  of  a
       given I/O.

   I/O FLAGS
       Every I/O in the pipeline contains a set of flags which describe its function and are used
       to govern its behavior.  These flags will be set in  an  event  as  an  zio_flags  payload
       entry.
