If it works like ZFS, then you will be able to create as many filesystem volumes as you want on top of a storage pool, each with their own size limit. You could create separate file systems for each user.

The 32K limit doesn't really matter, because we're effectively stuck forever with the much lower and older limit of 260 characters. Longer paths would crash existing applications who use 260 byte buffers to store file system paths.
