If so, you need a file system per user with ZFS. That may be an argument against it in some environments, but in my experience tends to be more important in academic settings than corporations. > 4.

Can anyone comment? Not a problem. NFS doesn't really deal with volumes, just files, so the offsets are always file-relative and the volume can be as large as desired.
