1) It's not possible anymore within a pool create a file system with a

for them. Also I tried to manually create pool with slices and have for
each pool a FS with the size I wanted......Is that true?
zfs set quota=5G poolname/fsname
will give you a filesystem that shows up as 5GiB in 'df' - is that
what you want?
I tried quota and it works fine but if you have another fs that takes
all the space you have in the pool, your FS will not have space for
itself. So set a reservation for the FS is fine but comparing with other
VOLUME MANAGER is different....that's what I am asking!
with volume managers (ZFS is more than a VM), you don't get to share all the
free space between file systems - that's one of the BIG advantages of zfs,
IMO. I think using reservations is a very minor "nuisance" in comparison to
the administrative effort you have to go to in other Volume Managers to "move"
free space from one FS to another.
