With ZFS there aren't fixed boundaries as there are with the slice/partition theme. You can use reservation and quota to determine how much free space is guaranteed for a ZFS and the maximum size a ZFS is allowed to grow to. If you feel that these boundaries/limitations aren't of any use anymore, changing/removing them is just a matter of "zfs set...". > Igor :-) ChristianReceived on Mon Jan 07 2008 - 07:51:19 UTC
