This perl script hacked together by a colleague, given a zfs filesystem,
will tell you how much space is used by the files, and how much by the
snapshots. This has proven helpful in
Mark - thank you very much for your explanation and example. I really
appreciate. Any ranting below is directed at ZFS, not you. =)

We're running a Thumper with Solaris 10_u4 with 127112-11 kernel patch
in production as our mail CIFS/NFS file server. We have a big zpool
consisting of 6 raidz2 groups.
We have quite a few filesystems underneath that. We use TIm Foster's
automatic snapshot service, version 0.10, to do regular s

After struggling for some time to try and wedge a ZFS file server into
our environment, I have come to the conclusion that I'm simply going to
have to live without quotas. They have been immensely useful in the past
5 years or so in allowing us to keep track of which groups are hogging
disk space
Thanks for the responses... it does sound like there is nothing built
in, so it's a situation where you have to roll your own.
A colleague pointed me at this:

I'm testing it now; seems like it might do the trick nicely.

Been goggling around on this to no avail...
We're hoping to soon put into production an x4500 with a big ZFS pool,
replacing a (piece of junk) NAS head which replaced our old trusty
NetApp.
In each of those older boxes, we configured them to send out an email
when there was a component failure.

We've got a couple of X4500's. I am able to get into ZFS Administration
on one of them, but on the newer one (latest Solaris 10 8/7 with
patches), which also has a larger number of ZFS filesystems, whenever I
go to the Java Web Console and click on ZFS Administration, after a
couple of minutes, i
