By default a dataset does not have a size limit, however it will either be limited by the available space in the pool or it will be limited by a quota on itself or on one of its parent datasets. You will not be able to create a zvol that exceeds any of those limits since the zvol creation must allocate the space needed for the size of the zvol you create.
