Yes, you are right.
But this way, has some lacks.
1. For quota change jail, it is necessary to stop jail and to start 
procedure of change of the size of file system. In case of use ufs it is

2. In case of use zfs, as far as I know, it is impossible to use virtual 
file systems for example unionfs.
