It looks like I can limit their consumption using vnodes to give each one their own virtual disk. Is this a practical way of handling it, or is there a better solution? I'm new to vnodes, so I would also appreciate any insight into what performance degradation I should expect. > You don't want to limit by vnodes, as you probably don't care how many files they have, just how many MB they have. You probably can use quota instead, as it (probably) doesn't matter if the users are jailed or not.
