A simple entry on how to discover or set the size for a given ZFS dataset as occasionaly we need to increase the size of a ZFS dataset.

  1. Check dataset current size: 
    # zfs list mypool/schlumpf
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
mypool/schlumpf 351M 59.7G 351M /data/schlumpf
  2. Check current size of data set: 
    # zfs get quota,reservation mypool/schlumpf
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
mypool/schlumpf quota 60G local
mypool/schlumpf reservation none default
    From the above we can see that the size of the dataset is currently 60GB,
  3. To increase size of dataset, 
    # zfs set quota=100G mypool/schlumpf
    The above will increase the size of the dataset to 100GB
