Hi Michael,
I completely agree with you. I was just wondering about the differences
between ZFS and others VM and also if I got the essence of it.
Also customers could ask these things and if they can use ZFS
filesystems like old fashion mode setting a specific size.
What do you thing about pulling out a mirror on D1000 and the completely
hang of the system?

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

example 10g to one and 20g to the other one unless I set a reservation
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.
