A lot of folks will want a similar functionality on everything from Sol 10 up to snv_129. I have a few experimental systems running thus : Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_129 Dec. 01, 2009 SunOS Internal Development: root 2009-Nov-30 [onnv_129-tonic] bfu'ed from /build/archives-nightly-osol/sparc on 2009-12-04 Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_126 November 2008 $ zpool upgrade This system is currently running ZFS pool version 22. All pools are formatted using this version. When we take into consideration the effects of compression and dedupe it can get difficult to answer the very basic question "How much space do I have left?" Perhaps a better question is "How much space do I have left given a worst case scenario?" I have pushed many copies of the exact same data into a ZFS filesystem with both compression and dedupe and watched as the actual space used was trivial. With a classic filesystem ( UFS ) we can generally answer the question quickly. One blunt object method would be to allocate a filesystem per user such that zfs list reports a long list of names under /export/home or similar. Then you can easily see the used space per filesystem. Allocating user quotas and then asking the simple questions seems mysterious to me also. I am looking into this for my own reasons and will stay in touch. -- Dennis Clarke dcla...@opensolaris.ca <- Email related to the open source Solaris dcla...@blastwave.org <- Email related to open source for Solaris _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
