💖 zpool-sync(8) 💖

okay bestie, this one is from the System Manager's Manual and it's literally about making ur ZFS pools flush their dirty little secrets to primary storage. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

zpool-sync — flush data to primary storage of ZFS storage pools 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zpool sync [pool]…

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this command forces all in-core dirty data to be written to the primary pool storage and not the ZIL. yes, u heard that right — primary storage, not the ZIL. periodt. 💖

it will also update administrative information including quota reporting. the way that it keeps ur admin stuff in check? obsessed. ✨

  • without arguments — zpool sync will sync all pools on the system. every single one. no pool left behind. 👑
  • with arguments — otherwise, it will sync only the specified pools. so if u pass [pool]…, that's the only vibe it's syncing. 🫶
ngl, this is ur "flush it rn" button for ZFS. use it when u need that data on primary storage asap. 💅
