Datasets can contain files, directories (child datasets), and have individual permissions or flags. Datasets can also be encrypted, either using the encryption created with the pool or with a separate encryption configuration.
The Capacity Settings screen allows users to set quotas for the selected dataset and for the selected dataset and any of the child datasets for the selected dataset apart from the dataset creation process.
The settings on the Capacity Settings screen are the same as those in the quota management section on the Add Dataset > Advanced Options screen.
