    Looks like when I go to enable quotas on a Share it gives me the attached message about quotas being disabled on the volumes.


    Leave quotas off on the shares - unless you want to limit the amount of storage in the share for some reason.

     

    Quota on the volume doesn't do what you think it does. It improves the btrfs "accounting" so that the file system has more detailed knowledge of how the space is being used.  If you want to see the amount of snapshot space, you do need to enable quota on the volume settings wheel.  I do want to see those details, so I have volume quota turned on, but share quotas turned off.
