# zpool-resilver(8)

resilver devices in ZFS storage pools

## NAME

**zpool-resilver** – resilver devices in ZFS storage pools

## SYNOPSIS

**zpool** **resilver** *pool*…

## DESCRIPTION

Starts a resilver of the specified pools. If an existing resilver is already running it will be restarted from the beginning. Any drives that were scheduled for a deferred resilver will be added to the new one. This requires the **resilver\_defer** pool feature.

Due to concurrent writes on a live system, it is possible for resilver to progress beyond 100% completion.
