Which version of Windows are you talking about. Did something MASSIVELY

zfsadm shrink is faster and less disruptive. Nevertheless, shrinking is
not automatic like growing is (can be).
The fact that one can compress, decompress, encrypt, decrypt, grow, or
shrink zfs files in-place and in-use implies to me that the zfs developers
are pretty sharp.

If a user greatly reduces their file usage, you can create a new home
directory, copy the remaining files over, and release the old directory.
If it's a separate z/OS file system, you get the space back.

As someone pointed out, it is only one more user file and I suppose that

We use automount with auto created ZFSs for each user. We set the size so
it won’t grow beyond our settings. Works great.

Obviously it is not big deal. Yes, automount or not-automount is not the
question (Hamlet). :-)
It is just my opinion that automount require some setup and provide no
value. And of course this is discussion forum, so I expect other
opinions or arguments. This is kind of learning opportunity, whi

Storage admins who don't like auto-create can create filespace by hand. Are you
saying auto-create does not meet the needs for all?

Every user on our system has dozens of "personal" files, ISPF-related,
DDIR, etc. One more is no big deal. And if a user blows up their home
filesystem, it's a minor issue (1 user), not a critical one (all users
affected). I also do not want to manage space usage in the filesystems.

different from my experience and which a storage admin might truly

At one time our site had an open-system NFS client so

While there is truth to what you say about automount, there are uses where
people find it useful because it provides features that some customers need.

Regarding automount feature: IMHO it is less than useless.
- It require some effort to establish and manage (including storage adm.)
- It wastes space, because even smallest empty home directory occupies
first extent of the ZFS/HFS.
- Space (extents) taken by some large files and then deleted is
