ZSTREAM(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual ZSTREAM(8)
NAME zstream - manipulate ZFS send streams
SYNOPSIS zstream dump [-Cvd] [file] zstream decompress [-v] [object,offset[,type...]] zstream redup [-v] file zstream token resume_token zstream recompress [-l level] algorithm
DESCRIPTION The zstream utility manipulates ZFS send streams output by the zfs send command.
zstream dump [-Cvd] [file] Print information about the specified send stream, including headers and record counts. The send stream may either be in the specified file, or provided on standard input.
-C Suppress the validation of checksums.
-v Verbose. Print metadata for each record.
-d Dump data contained in each record. Implies verbose.
The zstreamdump alias is provided for compatibility and is equivalent to running zstream dump.
zstream token resume_token Dumps zfs resume token information
zstream decompress [-v] [object,offset[,type...]] Decompress selected records in a ZFS send stream provided on standard input, when the compression type recorded in ZFS metadata may be incorrect. Specify the object number and byte offset of each record that you wish to decompress. Optionally specify the compression type. Valid compression types include off, gzip, lz4, lzjb, zstd, and zle. The default is lz4. Every record for that object beginning at that offset will be decompressed, if possible. It may not be possible, because the record may be corrupted in some but not all of the stream's snapshots. Specifying a compression type of off will change the stream's metadata accordingly, without attempting decompression. This can be useful if the record is already uncompressed but the metadata insists otherwise. The repaired stream will be written to standard output.
-v Verbose. Print summary of decompressed records.
zstream redup [-v] file Deduplicated send streams can be generated by using the zfs send -D command. The ability to send deduplicated send streams is deprecated. In the future, the ability to receive a deduplicated send stream with zfs receive will be removed. However, deduplicated send streams can still be received by utilizing zstream redup.
The zstream redup command is provided a file containing a deduplicated send stream, and outputs an equivalent non-deduplicated send stream on Recompresses a send stream, provided on standard input, using the provided algorithm and optional level, and writes the modified stream to standard output. All WRITE records in the send stream will be recompressed, unless they fail to result in size reduction compared to being left uncompressed. The provided algorithm can be any valid value to the compress property. Note that encrypted send streams cannot be recompressed.
-l level Specifies compression level. Only needed for algorithms where the level is not implied as part of the name of the algorithm (e.g. gzip-3 does not require it, while zstd does, if a non-default level is desired).
EXAMPLES Heal a dataset that was corrupted due to OpenZFS bug #12762. First, determine which records are corrupt. That cannot be done automatically; it requires information beyond ZFS's metadata. If object 128 is corrupted at offset 0 and is compressed using lz4, then run this command:
# zfs send -c <?> | zstream decompress 128,0,lz4 | zfs recv <?>
