No, it it not likely to achieve a higher compression ratio. However, it should use significantly less CPU time. We've seen some circumstances where the CPU usage caused by compressing metadata can be not as trivial as we'd like. --matt _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
