ZFS question
How does one set a size limit on a ZFS filesystem? It seems every ZFS FS I create has the same size limit as the parent Zpool.

I want to create an FS with a much smaller limit. how?


Thanks in advance my friends.

I am not sure because I have not a system like that running here but I think you can take a look at: http://www.tech-recipes.com/solaris_..._tips1404.html

Something like: zfs set quota=10g techrx/home/qmchenry

There are two three things in zfs which you can consider to deal with size restrictions.

Preferable:
Code:
zfs set quota=<size> <zfs filesystem>  # set the max size
zfs set reserve=<size> <zfs filesystem>  # set the amount of space reserved for the filesystem
#or create it as a volume
zfs -V <size> <volume>

Thank you very much reborg, that is very helpful.
