Oh - I get it - In the case of subversion server, it's pretty safe to assume all the "svnuser" files are under a specific subdirectory (or a manageably finite number of directories) and therefore could use a separate zfs filesystem within the same pool, and therefore that directory or directories could have a space reservation. I think that will be sufficient for our immediate needs. Thanks for the suggestion. Out of curiosity, the more general solution would be the ability to create a reservation on a per-user or per-group basis (just like you create quotas on a per-user or per-group basis). Is this possible? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
