ZFS compression not activated
After using "Automatically configure" on #7 "ZFS (optional)" there is a new zpool created.
When entering zfs get compression [pool name]
, you get:
[pool name] compression lz4 local
If you finish installing the new operating system with the default zfs properties, and check the ZFS compression ratio at the end with zfs get compressratio [pool name]
, the result will be:
[pool name] compressratio 1.00x -
A compression ratio of 1.00x is a very ugly result for lz4: no compression at all.
After creating a new ZFS pool, add this: zfs set compression=on [pool name]
- This change the result on my SSD to a compressratio 1.83x.
Please add 1 line of code to activate ZFS compression.
