NAME

       zpool-add — add vdevs to ZFS storage pool

SYNOPSIS

       zpool add [-fgLnP] [-o property=value] pool vdev…

DESCRIPTION

       Adds the specified virtual devices to the given pool.  The vdev specification is described in the Virtual
       Devices  section of zpoolconcepts(7).  The behavior of the -f option, and the device checks performed are
       described in the zpool create subcommand.

       -f      Forces use of vdevs, even if they appear in use or specify a conflicting replication level.   Not
               all devices can be overridden in this manner.

       -g      Display  vdev,  GUIDs  instead  of  the normal device names.  These GUIDs can be used in place of
               device names for the zpool detach/offline/remove/replace commands.

       -L      Display real paths for vdevs resolving all symbolic links.  This can  be  used  to  look  up  the
               current block device name regardless of the /dev/disk path used to open it.

       -n      Displays the configuration that would be used without actually adding the vdevs.  The actual pool
               creation can still fail due to insufficient privileges or device sharing.

       -P      Display real paths for vdevs instead of only the last component of the path.  This can be used in
               conjunction with the -L flag.

       -o property=value
               Sets the given pool properties.  See the zpoolprops(7) manual page for a list of valid properties
               that can be set.  The only property supported at the moment is ashift.
