Howdy. I am not sure if this is even possible but I guess it can't hurt to ask. I am testing a 4 disk ZFS Raid-z1 array with lzjb compression and dataset quotas shared over AFP for Time Machine. Just the fact I can include all those features in the same sentence is awesome, but it also leads to a pretty important question for my use scenario:
Say I have a dataset "Tom's backup" with a 200GB AFP share. If I copy a 100GB file to it the OSX finder then shows 120GB free due to the compression enabled server side. Is it possible for the uncompressed file size to be used for quotas? As in, there would be only 100GB free shown after 100GB is added to the 200GB dataset / AFP share?
Thanks a bunch for any tips, or even just this isn't possible if it isn't.
