You should be posting to zfs-discuss for ZFS-specific questions. Perhaps you are confused about the difference between 'used' and 'referenced'? For example, consider this output from my desktop:
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT pool/local/builds 696M 680G 32.2K /builds pool/local/builds/fixes 296M 680G 296M /builds/fixes pool/local/builds/work 400M 680G 400M /builds/work Notice that 'used' is the sum of the two filesystems underneath it. But '/builds' itself is also a filesystem, and so the amount of space referenced by that particular filesystem is quite small (because it isn't actually mounted, it has basically no data). Quotas are *not* inherited. Setting a quota on 'pool/local/builds' will apply to the total (used) space of itself all child filesystems and snapshots. - Eric > I'm having trouble understanding this: > > zfs create zfspool/home > zfs create zfspool/home/u1 > zfs create zfspool/home/u2 > > For arguments sake u1 contains 5gb worth of data and > u2 7gb worth of data. > > Doing 'zfs list' zfspopol/home/u1 and zfspool/home/u2 > shows 5gb and 7gb respectively.
