ZFS is not the only way to limit the jails there certainly is an
abundance of other things you can work at doing to if your limited.

For example:
# mkdir /exports/jail1
# truncate -s 2g /exports/jail1.vnode
# mdconfig -f /exports/jail1.vnode
# newfs -O2 /dev/md0
# mount /dev/md0 /exports/jail1
# <install your environment to /exports/jail1>
# <add whatever else is needed to rc.local or rc.conf>

And you now have a 2G portable jail without all the copy this here that
there mess if you have to back it up just copy the file over to another
jail to adjust for a second running jail and so on.

This is slightly incomplete to a full setup but should be enough to
paint the beginning of the picture for you.


Happy Trees!
