Hi Everyone,
Got a fairly powerful server with some resources to use up. Configuring jails for a few of my clients and the only thing that concerns me is disk space usage - I need to be able to limit the amount of disk space they use.
Problem is I can't use separate UFS partitions because jails will be created and removed all the time and I don't have that much disk space.
I've tried googling but can't seem to find any answers in relation to jails and disk quota. I understand ZFS would do what I need but can't/don't want to modify the current file system.
I was thinking I could use a ZFS pool mapped to a file but am unsure of how this will perform? would this be a performance bottleneck for the Jails?
Any other ideas on how I can set individual quotas per jail?
Thanks in advanced for any help you can provide!
Cheers,
Jay
