I'm looking forward for the info.
I cannot implement quota on my fileserver due to convention.
And this results in storage capacity issue.
Luckily most of the files stored by the users are text files so
compression helps a lot.
I've been using lessFS and zfs-fuse and pretty satisfied. It saves space a lot.
I just thought that the Zfs appliance would be even more beneficial for my need.
