\fBspa_asize_inflation\fR (int)
.ad
.RS 12n
Multiplication factor used to estimate actual disk consumption from the
size of data being written. The default value is a worst case estimate,
but lower values may be valid for a given pool depending on its
configuration. Pool administrators who understand the factors involved
may wish to specify a more realistic inflation factor, particularly if
they operate close to quota or capacity limits.

\fBspa_load_verify_data\fR (int)
.ad
.RS 12n
Whether to traverse data blocks during an "extreme rewind" (\fB-X\fR)
import. Use 0 to disable and 1 to enable.
An extreme rewind import normally performs a full traversal of all
blocks in the pool for verification. If this parameter is set to 0,
the traversal skips non-metadata blocks. It can be toggled once the
import has started to stop or start the traversal of non-metadata blocks.

\fBspa_load_verify_metadata\fR (int)
.ad
.RS 12n
Whether to traverse blocks during an "extreme rewind" (\fB-X\fR)
pool import. Use 0 to disable and 1 to enable.
An extreme rewind import normally performs a full traversal of all
blocks in the pool for verification. If this parameter is set to 1,
the traversal is not performed. It can be toggled once the import has
started to stop or start the traversal.
.sp
Default value: 1
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fBspa_load_verify_maxinflight\fR (int)

\fBzfs_free_leak_on_eio\fR (int)
.ad
.RS 12n
If destroy encounters an EIO while reading metadata (e.g. indirect
blocks), space referenced by the missing metadata can not be freed.
Normally this causes the background destroy to become "stalled", as
it is unable to make forward progress. While in this stalled state,
all remaining space to free from the error-encountering filesystem is
"temporarily leaked". Set this flag to cause it to ignore the EIO,
permanently leak the space from indirect blocks that can not be read,
and continue to free everything else that it can.
The default, "stalling" behavior is useful if the storage partially
fails (i.e. some but not all i/os fail), and then later recovers. In
this case, we will be able to continue pool operations while it is
partially failed, and when it recovers, we can continue to free the
space, with no leaks. However, note that this case is actually
fairly rare.
Typically pools either (a) fail completely (but perhaps temporarily,
e.g. a top-level vdev going offline), or (b) have localized,
permanent errors (e.g. disk returns the wrong data due to bit flip or
firmware bug). In case (a), this setting does not matter because the
pool will be suspended and the sync thread will not be able to make
forward progress regardless. In case (b), because the error is
permanent, the best we can do is leak the minimum amount of space,
which is what setting this flag will do. Therefore, it is reasonable
for this flag to normally be set, but we chose the more conservative
approach of not setting it, so that there is no possibility of
leaking space in the "partial temporary" failure case.

Defines a threshold at which metaslab groups should be eligible for
allocations. The value is expressed as a percentage of free space
beyond which a metaslab group is always eligible for allocations.
If a metaslab group's free space is less than or equal to the
the threshold, the allocator will avoid allocating to that group
unless all groups in the pool have reached the threshold. Once all
groups have reached the threshold, all groups are allowed to accept
allocations. The default value of 0 disables the feature and causes
all metaslab groups to be eligible for allocations.
This parameter allows to deal with pools having heavily imbalanced
vdevs such as would be the case when a new vdev has been added.
Setting the threshold to a non-zero percentage will stop allocations
from being made to vdevs that aren't filled to the specified percentage
and allow lesser filled vdevs to acquire more allocations than they
otherwise would under the old \fBzfs_mg_alloc_failures\fR facility.
