NAME

mkzpool - Create a zpool from a JSON specification

SYNOPSIS

mkzpool [-ef] pool file.json

DESCRIPTION

command-line arguments. The input JSON must satisfy the schema described
in the disklayout(8) output specification.

OPTIONS

-e Encrypt. Create the zpool as an encrypted zpool. A PIV token
must be present on the system for the command to succeed.

-f Force. This flag has the same meaning as the same flag when
passed to zpool create.

WARNINGS

zpool(8) create command.
