Huh neat. So how far does it stretch though? If I have compression off, you are happy. What if I use lz4, but gzip-9 would save more, should you get money back? What is Super-lz4 comes out next year, should you be compensated? What if I get more active and re-encode your video file with x265 and save you even more money? I'm fiddling with your bits man! That's totally not cool (but I'm saving you money!)
But the best one, that confused me. We have 10G of space (actually it is free space) and when customers download their 10G backup, and found it took 13G of local space, they called support to complain. Seriously. Customers are funny.
But light-heartedness aside, at the end of the day, I am not suggesting ZFS change quota, I'm not even suggesting you change how you use your quota. But lets talk about adding the additional feature for those who want it. I certainly do not want lua in my kernel, but I'm not trying to stop the elders from adding it :)
Just because all major "cloud" storage does it the non-ZFS way, doesn't mean it this way is good, or "right". But it does create a defacto standard, an industry standard.
