Once you've created the zpool, just do: zfs create -o reservation=10G -o mountpoint=none tank/reservation Then just go about creating your normal zfs datasets: zfs create -o mountpoint=/my/important/data tank/importantdata I don't think that you need to reserve 10% of the total space, but whatever you decide set your reservation value to that. If you change your mind later, you can update the reservation property. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com Suspicion Breeds Confidence _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
