Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS unit of compression

I have implemented a virtual block device in Linux that transparently compresses and decompresses data. In my implementation, the unit of compression is 4K. Multiple variable-size compressed blocks are stored in the same physical block, which in principle requires a read-modify-write sequence.

Hello. I want to know what is the unit of compression in ZFS. Is it 4 KB or larger? Is it tunnable? Thanks. Thanos -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailma
