I'd also highly recommend checking that this actually works for ZFS in

I don't see why it shouldn't. From the LZO homepage:
# Decompression is simple and */very/* fast.
# Requires no memory for decompression.
# Compression is pretty fast.
# Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
# There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for compression.
# Algorithm is thread safe.
Until someone tries though you really never know what needs to be done.
I would highly recommend getting LZO up and running as a Solaris kernel
module - it might not be trivial or you could be lucky and it will "just
work" . Writing a library and writing a kernel module have important and
significant differences.
