zpool-initialize — write to unallocated regions of ZFS storage pool

       Begins  initializing  by  writing  to  all  unallocated regions on the specified devices, or all eligible
       devices in the pool if no individual devices are specified.   Only  leaf  data  or  log  devices  may  be
       initialized.

       -c, --cancel
               Cancel  initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible devices if none are specified.  If
               one or more target devices are invalid or are not currently being initialized, the  command  will
               fail and no cancellation will occur on any device.

       -s, --suspend
               Suspend initializing on the specified devices, or all eligible devices if none are specified.  If
               one  or  more target devices are invalid or are not currently being initialized, the command will
               fail and no suspension will occur on any device.  Initializing can then  be  resumed  by  running
               zpoolinitialize with no flags on the relevant target devices.

       -u, --uninit
               Clears  the  initialization  state  on the specified devices, or all eligible devices if none are
               specified.  If the devices are being actively initialized the command  will  fail.   After  being
               cleared  zpoolinitialize  with no flags can be used to re-initialize all unallocated regions on
               the relevant target devices.

       -w, --wait
               Wait until the devices have finished initializing before returning.
