Do you really need to abbreviate this, I had to read this three times 
before I could work out what it was (I kept thinking serve what ?). 
Maybe "refreserved" instead (ie create not creat :-)).

I'm also having a hard time working out what the interaction between the 
existing "quota" and "reserveration" properties are and these ones.  I 
don't think the text in the man page is sufficient to allow people to 
work out what combinations of quota/refquota they need to set.   Maybe 
some more examples would help.

Is there a case where you would want to set both quota and refquota ? 
If not would it make sense to have a "quotatype" property instead that 
determined if the quota included snapshots and descendents.

I know that "referenced" is the correct ZFS term but I'm not sure it is 
a term that users/admins can easily relate to.  I can't at the moment 
come up with a better naming scheme though - so unless anyone else can 
I'm okay for this case to be approved with the current naming.
