Reorganize zfs(8) man page into sections Most subcommands got their own manpages (e.g. create). Some related commands grouped into a single manpage and symlinks created (e.g. set, get, and inherit). I did this when topics were either too short to warrant their own file or so interrelated that a user would want to refer between commands in the same file. Corrected .Sx internal references to .Xr cross refs; lots of .Sx references from when text was all in zfs.8 needed to be changed to .Xr zfs-$SUBCOMMAND 8 cross references. Divided subcommand list in zfs(8) into sections of related functionality. This required writing new descriptions for some commands. Preserved ".Os Linux", `.Os` macro parsing behavior differs between mandoc from the "BSD" mandoc package (available on Ubuntu) and man from Ubuntu's man-db package, which calls groff to format the manpages. Groff handles the `.Os` macro differently and wrongly, defaulting it to "BSD" in `/usr/share/groff/*/tmac/mdoc/doc-common`, instead of getting the default from `uname`. A future set of changes will introduce build-time preprocessing of manpages for platform-specific documentation and can insert the correct operating system name. Added SEE ALSO sections, the newly-divided zfs-*.8 subcommand man pages needed their own SEE ALSO sections pointing to related subcommands and, in some cases, documentation from other packages (e.g. zfs-share.8).

.Dt ZFS-RENAME 8
Remove hard coded "Linux" OS from manpages The recommended practice for `.Os` on FreeBSD is to not specify any arguments. The correct OS name is used automatically. Oddly enough, on the Linux distro I tested this on (CentOS 7), the man pager defaulted to displaying "BSD" as the OS rather than "Linux". To accommodate this, tack " Linux" back on in an install hook on Linux. This is much simpler than removing it for FreeBSD when vendored in the base system.

Add 'zfs rename -u' to rename without remounting Allow to rename file systems without remounting if it is possible. It is possible for file systems with 'mountpoint' property set to 'legacy' or 'none' - we don't have to change mount directory for them. Currently such file systems are unmounted on rename and not even mounted back. This introduces layering violation, as we need to update 'f_mntfromname' field in statfs structure related to mountpoint (for the dataset we are renaming and all its children). In my opinion it is worth it, as it allow to update FreeBSD in even cleaner way - in ZFS-only configuration root file system is ZFS file system with 'mountpoint' property set to 'legacy'. If root dataset is named system/rootfs, we can snapshot it (system/rootfs@upgrade), clone it (system/oldrootfs), update FreeBSD and if it doesn't boot we can boot back from system/oldrootfs and rename it back to system/rootfs while it is mounted as /.

.Ss Example 1 : No Promoting a ZFS Clone

then replace the original file system with the changed one, using clones, clone
promotion, and renaming:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
.No # Nm zfs Cm create Ar pool/project/production

.No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
.No # Nm zfs Cm rename Ar pool/project/beta pool/project/production
once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
.No # Nm zfs Cm destroy Ar pool/project/legacy

consistent naming scheme.
To keep a week's worth of snapshots, the user destroys the oldest snapshot,
renames the remaining snapshots, and then creates a new snapshot, as follows:
.Bd -literal -compact -offset Ds
