NAME

       zpool-checkpoint — check-point current ZFS storage pool state

SYNOPSIS

       zpool checkpoint [-d [-w]] pool

DESCRIPTION

       Checkpoints   the   current   state   of   pool   ,   which   can  be  later  restored  by  zpool  import
       --rewind-to-checkpoint.  The  existence  of  a  checkpoint  in  a  pool  prohibits  the  following  zpool
       subcommands: remove, attach, detach, split, and reguid.  In addition, it may break reservation boundaries
       if  the  pool  lacks free space.  The zpool status command indicates the existence of a checkpoint or the
       progress of discarding a checkpoint from a pool.  zpool list can be used to  check  how  much  space  the
       checkpoint takes from the pool.

OPTIONS

       -d, --discard
               Discards an existing checkpoint from pool.

       -w, --wait
               Waits until the checkpoint has finished being discarded before returning.
