fzfs-create-tree
================

.. program:: fzfs create-tree


Synopsis
--------

**fzfs create-tree** [**-A**] [**-M** `mountpoint`] [**-n**] [**-p**] [**-u**] `source-dataset` `dest-dataset`

Description
-----------

Copy the ZFS filesystem structure that is rooted at `source-dataset`
to the destination rooted at `dest-dataset`.

The content of the filesystems is **not** copied. This is also true for
permissions and/or ACLs.

`dest-dataset` must not exist already.

By default some important dataset properties that are set locally in
the source tree are copied to the destination. This includes `atime`,
`exec`, `setuid`, `compression`, `primarycache`, `sync` and
`readonly`.

By default `canmount` is also copied. But this can be modified with
options :option:`-A` and :option:`-p`.


Options
-------

.. option:: -A

   Unconditionally set the ZFS property `canmount=noauto` for all
   created datasets in the destination tree. This option overwrites
   option :option:`-p`.

.. option:: -M mountpoint

   Set the `mountpoint` property for the root `dest-dataset` to `mountpoint`.
   All children will be set to inherit it.

.. option:: -n

   Dry-run. Do not really create datasets but show what would be done.

.. option:: -p

   Copy the `canmount` property only from the source to the root
   destination dataset This will be overwritten by the option
   :option:`-A`.

.. option:: -u

   Do not mount the newly created datasets.


Environment
-----------

All environment variables that affect :command:`zfs` are effective also.
