With ZFS there aren't fixed boundaries as there are with the
slice/partition theme. You can use reservation and quota to determine
how much free space is guaranteed for a ZFS and the maximum size a ZFS
is allowed to grow to.
If you feel that these boundaries/limitations aren't of any use
anymore, changing/removing them is just a matter of "zfs set...".
