zdb(1M)                 System Administration Commands                 zdb(1M)



NAME
       zdb - ZFS debugger

SYNOPSIS
       zdb pool


DESCRIPTION
       The  zdb  command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and
       gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is  always  consistent  on
       disk  and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction
       by a support engineer.

       If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic  consistency  checks
       on  the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems detected.

       Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun  and  subject
       to change at any time.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0    The pool is consistent.


       1    An error was detected.


       2    Invalid command line options were specified.
