SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO

zpool checkpoint [-d [-w]] pool

Checkpoints the current state of pool , which can be later restored by zpool. The existence of a checkpoint in a pool prohibits the following zpool subcommands: remove, attach, detach, split, and reguid. In addition, it may break reservation boundaries if the pool lacks free space. The zpool command indicates the existence of a checkpoint or the progress of discarding a checkpoint from a pool. zpool can be used to check how much space the checkpoint takes from the pool.

-d -, --discard
	Discards an existing checkpoint from pool.
-w -, --wait
	Waits until the checkpoint has finished being discarded before returning.
