Very forward versions...especially on ZFS.

You build OST volumes in a pool. If no other volumes are defined in a pool
then 100% of that pool will be available for the OST volume but the way ZFS
works the capacity doesn’t really belong to the OST volume until blocks are
allocated for writes. So you have a pool
Of a known size and you’re the admin. As long as nobody else can create a
ZFS volume in that pool then all of the capacity in that pool will go to
the OST eventually when new writes occur. Keep in mind that the same pool
can contain multiple snapshots (if created) so the pool is a “potential
capacity” but that capacity could be concurrently allocated to OST volume
writes, snapshots and other ZFS volumes (if created)
