.SH NAME
zinject \- ZFS Fault Injector
.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR zinject
creates artificial problems in a ZFS pool by simulating data corruption or device failures. This program is dangerous.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.TP
.B "zinject"
List injection records.
.TP
.B "zinject \-b \fIobjset:object:level:blkd\fB [\-f \fIfrequency\fB] [\-amu] \fIpool\fB"
Force an error into the pool at a bookmark.
.TP
.B "zinject \-c <\fIid\fB | all>
Cancel injection records.
.TP
.B "zinject \-d \fIvdev\fB \-A <degrade|fault> \fIpool\fB
Force a vdev into the DEGRADED or FAULTED state.
.TP
.B "zinject -d \fIvdev\fB -D latency:lanes \fIpool\fB

Add an artificial delay to IO requests on a particular
device, such that the requests take a minimum of 'latency'
milliseconds to complete. Each delay has an associated
number of 'lanes' which defines the number of concurrent
IO requests that can be processed.

For example, with a single lane delay of 10 ms (-D 10:1),
the device will only be able to service a single IO request
at a time with each request taking 10 ms to complete. So,
if only a single request is submitted every 10 ms, the
average latency will be 10 ms; but if more than one request
is submitted every 10 ms, the average latency will be more
than 10 ms.

Similarly, if a delay of 10 ms is specified to have two
lanes (-D 10:2), then the device will be able to service
two requests at a time, each with a minimum latency of
10 ms. So, if two requests are submitted every 10 ms, then
the average latency will be 10 ms; but if more than two
requests are submitted every 10 ms, the average latency
will be more than 10 ms.

Also note, these delays are additive. So two invocations
of '-D 10:1', is roughly equivalent to a single invocation
of '-D 10:2'. This also means, one can specify multiple
lanes with differing target latencies. For example, an
invocation of '-D 10:1' followed by '-D 25:2' will
create 3 lanes on the device; one lane with a latency
of 10 ms and two lanes with a 25 ms latency.

.B "zinject \-d \fIvdev\fB [\-e \fIdevice_error\fB] [\-L \fIlabel_error\fB] [\-T \fIfailure\fB] [\-f \fIfrequency\fB] [\-F] \fIpool\fB"
Force a vdev error.
.TP
.B "zinject \-I [\-s \fIseconds\fB | \-g \fItxgs\fB] \fIpool\fB"
Simulate a hardware failure that fails to honor a cache flush.
.TP
.B "zinject \-p \fIfunction\fB \fIpool\fB
Panic inside the specified function.
.TP
.B "zinject \-t data [\-e \fIdevice_error\fB] [\-f \fIfrequency\fB] [\-l \fIlevel\fB] [\-r \fIrange\fB] [\-amq] \fIpath\fB"
Force an error into the contents of a file.
.TP
.B "zinject \-t dnode [\-e \fIdevice_error\fB] [\-f \fIfrequency\fB] [\-l \fIlevel\fB] [\-amq] \fIpath\fB"
Force an error into the metadnode for a file or directory.
.TP
.B "zinject \-t \fImos_type\fB [\-e \fIdevice_error\fB] [\-f \fIfrequency\fB] [\-l \fIlevel\fB] [\-r \fIrange\fB] [\-amqu] \fIpool\fB"
Force an error into the MOS of a pool.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI "\-a"
Flush the ARC before injection.
.TP
.BI "\-b" " objset:object:level:start:end"
Force an error into the pool at this bookmark tuple. Each number is
in hexadecimal, and only one block can be specified.
.TP
.BI "\-d" " vdev"
A vdev specified by path or GUID.
.TP
.BI "\-e" " device_error"
Specify
.BR "checksum" " for an ECKSUM error,"
.BR "corrupt" " to flip a bit in the data after a read,"
.BR "dtl" " for an ECHILD error,"
.BR "io" " for an EIO error where reopening the device will succeed, or"
.BR "nxio" " for an ENXIO error where reopening the device will fail."
For EIO and ENXIO, the "failed" reads or writes still occur.  The probe simply
sets the error value reported by the I/O pipeline so it appears the read or
write failed.
.TP
.BI "\-f" " frequency"
Only inject errors a fraction of the time. Expressed as a real number
percentage between 0.0001 and 100.
.TP
.BI "\-F"
Fail faster. Do fewer checks.
.TP
.BI "\-g" " txgs"
Run for this many transaction groups before reporting failure.
.TP
.BI "\-h"
Print the usage message.
.TP
.BI "\-l" " level"
Inject an error at a particular block level. The default is 0.
.TP
.BI "\-L" " label_error"
Set the label error region to one of
.BR " nvlist" ","
.BR " pad1" ","
.BR " pad2" ", or"
.BR " uber" "."
.TP
.BI "\-m"
Automatically remount the underlying filesystem.
.TP
.BI "\-q"
Quiet mode. Only print the handler number added.
.TP
.BI "\-r" " range"
Inject an error over a particular logical range of an object, which
will be translated to the appropriate blkid range according to the
object's properties.
.TP
.BI "\-s" " seconds"
Run for this many seconds before reporting failure.
.TP
.BI "\-T" " failure"
Set the failure type to one of
.BR " all" ","
.BR " claim" ","
.BR " free" ","
.BR " read" ", or"
.BR " write" "."
.TP
.BI "\-t" " mos_type"
Set this to
.BR "mos " "for any data in the MOS,"
.BR "mosdir " "for an object directory,"
.BR "config " "for the pool configuration,"
.BR "bpobj " "for the block pointer list,"
.BR "spacemap " "for the space map,"
.BR "metaslab " "for the metaslab, or"
.BR "errlog " "for the persistent error log."
.TP
.BI "\-u"
Unload the pool after injection.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
