Do both compression and fixed record sizes work together?
Our Directory Server uses a fixed page size (8KB by default) for database records, so I'm in the habit of setting the ZFS recordsize to equal the database page size. However, we also typically use compression because it often helps improve write performance. Given that compression would inherently result in variable-sized records (based on how well the data can be compressed), is there any advantage or disadvantage to us continuing to set the record size?
