ZVOL_WAIT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the zvol_wait(1) page from the General Commands Manual 💖 — and the whole vibe is: zvol_wait — wait for ZFS volume links to appear in /dev. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

zvol_wait

That's the whole synopsis, bestie. one word, main character energy, periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, fr fr: when a ZFS pool is imported, the volumes within it will appear as block devices. as they're registered, udev(7) asynchronously creates symlinks under /dev/zvol using the volumes' names. iconic but lowkey chaotic. 😭

zvol_wait will wait for all those symlinks to be created before exiting. that's it. that's the whole serve. ✨
