Oracle Solaris ZFS Administration Guide

Changes to the zpool list Command

Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 Release: In this Solaris release, the zpool list output has changed to provide better space allocation information. For example:


# zpool list tank
NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
tank    136G  55.2G  80.8G    40%  ONLINE  -

The previous USED and AVAIL fields have been replaced with ALLOC and FREE.

The ALLOC field identifies the amount of physical space allocated to all datasets and internal metadata. The FREE field identifies the amount of unallocated space in the pool.
