Hi Darren
Thanks for your reply.
You please take a deep look into the following command:
$mkfs -F vxfs -o bsize=1024 /dev/rdsk/c5t20d9s2 2048000
The above command creates vxfs file system on first 2048000 blocks (each
block size is 1024 bytes) of /dev/rdsk/c5t20d9s2 .
Like this is there a option to limit the size of ZFS file system.? if so what
it is ? how it is ?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

This creates a pool on the entire slice.

Note that this sets a quota only on the default filesystem that was
created along with the zpool. There may be other filesystems created on
the pool with different quotas. You are not setting a quota on the pool
itself.

All blocks belong to the pool. The /mypool filesystem may be allocated
any particular space there depending on other filesystems and layout.
Attempts to allocate space greater than 5000K will fail.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. UFS and VxFS normally take the
entire space of a disk slice or volume. The pool creation does the same
thing.
Can you clarify what you mean by limiting the size of UFS or VxVS?
