## Resource quotas for each file system
<a name="limits-openzfs-resources-file-system"></a>

Following are the default quotas on FSx for OpenZFS resources for each file system in an AWS Region. For information on how to request an increase on a quota, see [Requesting a quota increase](#request-quota-increase).


****  

| Resource | Limit per file system | 
| --- | --- | 
| Minimum storage capacity | 64 GiB | 
| Maximum storage capacity | 512 TiB 1 | 
| Minimum throughput capacity | 64 MBps | 
| Maximum throughput capacity | 10,240 MBps | 
| Maximum number of volumes | 100 | 
| Maximum number of user and group quotas per volume | 100 | 
| Maximum number of snapshots | 700 | 
| Maximum number of tags | 50 |
