ZVOL_WAIT(1) General Commands Manual (smm) ZVOL_WAIT(1)

NAME

zvol_wait
Wait for ZFS volume links in /dev to be created.

SYNOPSIS

zvol_wait

DESCRIPTION

When a ZFS pool is imported, ZFS will register each ZFS volume (zvol) as a disk device with the system. As the disks are registered, udev(7) will asynchronously create symlinks under /dev/zvol using the zvol's name. zvol_wait will wait for all those symlinks to be created before returning.
