What command would you use to increase the disk space available to the user?

user1, while in his home directory, is attempting to run the following command in his home
directory: cp bigfile verybig
The system displays the following error:
cp: cannot create verybig: Disc quota exceeded
Your initial troubleshooting shows that the df -h command indicates he is at 100% capacity. What
command would you use to increase the disk space available to the user?

A.
zfs get quota rpool/export/home/user1

B.
zfs userused@user1

C.
zfs quota=none /rpool/export/home/user1

D.
df -h | grep user1

E.
zfs set quota=none /rpool/export/home/user1

Explanation:
ZFS quotas can be set and displayed by using the zfs set and zfs get commands.
We can remove the quota restriction by setting to quota to none.
Reference: man zfs

Strange question, as both C and E works:

root@sol11-ai:~# zfs get quota rpool/export/home/alice
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/export/home/alice quota none default
root@sol11-ai:~# zfs quota=5m rpool/export/home/alice
root@sol11-ai:~# zfs get quota rpool/export/home/alice
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/export/home/alice quota 5M local
root@sol11-ai:~# zfs set quota=10m rpool/export/home/alice
root@sol11-ai:~# zfs get quota rpool/export/home/alice
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool/export/home/alice quota 10M local

However on the man pages it says u need the set word:
Example 6 Setting a Quota on a ZFS File System

The following command sets a quota of 30 GB for
pool/home/bob.

# zfs set quota=30G pool/home/bob

By the way, the dataset cannot start with /, so both is misstyped in the question!

So upon the man zfs example> [E] is correct.
