Project and Home Directory Snapshots
By default each home directory and project directory has .zfs directory that contains snapshots.
Snapshots are backups of your files so you can restore a file changed or accidentally deleted.
This process can impact your quota. There are some utilities for you as a user to control snapshots
cd to the top level of your project or home directory
touch .nosnapshot -- This will stop new snapshots from being created. It will still keep your exisiting snapshots
touch .rmsnapshot -- This will remove all of your exisiting snapshots, but will create new ones after that.
You can do both to disable snapshots permanently from your account/project space
