Settable ZFS Native Properties

Settable native properties are properties whose values can be both retrieved and set. Settable native properties are set by using the zfs set command, as described in Setting ZFS Properties or by using the zfs create command as described in How to Create a ZFS File System. With the exceptions of quotas and reservations, settable native properties are inherited. For more information about quotas and reservations, see Setting ZFS Quotas.

Some settable native properties are specific to a particular type of dataset. In such cases, the dataset type is mentioned in the description in ZFS Native Property Descriptions. If not specifically mentioned, a property applies to all dataset types: file systems, volumes, clones, and snapshots.
