Hi,
I'm looking at moving two UFS quota-ed filesystems to ZFS under
Solaris 10 release 6/06, and the quota issue is gnarly.
One filesystem is user home directories and I'm aiming towards the
"one zfs filesystem per user" model, attempting to use Casper
Dik's auto_home script for on-the-fly zfs filesystem creation.
I'm having problems there, but that is an automounter issue, not
ZFS.
The other filesystem is /var/mail on my mail server. I've traditionally
run (big) user quotas in mailboxes just to keep some malicious
emailer from filling up /var/mail, maybe. The notion of having
one zfs filesystem per mailbox seems unwieldy, just to run quotas
per user.
Are there any plans/schemes for per-user quotas within a ZFS filesystem,
akin to the UFS quotaon(1M) mechanism? I take it that quotaon won't
work with a ZFS filesystem, right? Suggestions please? My notion
right now is to drop quotas for /var/mail.
