Though there isn't a special feature for zones and directory quotas, you can still 
use filesystem quotas, potentially one fs per zone.  This may require more 
filesystems than you might want, but ZFS will remove the pain of managing many fs's.


If they aren't ready for ZFS, SVM soft-partitions can be used (or similar 
functionality from other vm's) but then there's that pain... ;-)



if customer creates a series of zones ie zone 1 -50  and zone 1 needs
more space, will the zone get more space dynamically or is it fixed..


As with the earlier question, this is a feature (or lack thereof) of the 
filesystem, not zones.

[zones-discuss] question on zones with quotas and space

[Peter Wilk]

All,

IHAC that is asking the following:


customer has a series of questions on zones...

if the zones are going to mount data directories can quota be set on the
data directories.
if so what options are there..is it just ZFS or can UFS be used
if customer creates a series of zones ie zone 1 -50  and zone 1 needs
more space, will the zone get more space dynamically or is it fixed..

Any thoughts would be appreciated


Thanks

Peter
