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  con-
     sistency  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.
