That might be close enough. I need to set up a test system and play
around with zfs and btrfs.

Thanks.

From my reading the closest you can get to disk space quotas in ZFS is
by limiting on a per directory (dataset, mount) basis which is similar
but different.

This is the normal type of quota within ZFS.   it is applied to a
dataset and limits the size of the dataset, such as
home/username.
You can have as many datasets ("filesystems") as you like  (within
practical limits),  which is probably the way to go in regards to home
directories.

But another option is

zfs set groupquota@groupname=100GB   example1/blah
zfs set userquota@user1=200MB   example1/blah

This would be available on the  Solaris implementation.


I am not 100% certain that this is available under the BSD implementations,
even if QUOTA is enabled in your kernel config.

In the past.... the BSD implementation of ZFS never seemed to be as
stable, functional, or performant as the OpenSolaris/Illumos version.
