zfs discuss - Aug 2010 - Possible to save custom properties on a zfs file system?

Folks,

I need to store some application-specific settings for a ZFS filesystem. Is it
possible to extend a ZFS filesystem and add additional properties?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

Here is an example, where the company myco wants to add a property
"myprop"
to a file system "myfs" contained
within the pool "mypool".

zfs set myco:myprop=11 mypool/myfs

Yes, you can add your own properties. See the section on "user
properties" in the zfs man page.

Onno

Thank you all for your help.

Can properties be set on file systems as well as pools? When I try "zpool
set" command with a local property, I can an error "invalid
property."

Peter
