by some posting on zfs-fuse mailinglist, i came across "zle" compression which seems to be part of the dedupe-commit some days ago:
http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/diff/e2081f502306/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/zle.c --snipp 31 + * Zero-length encoding. This is a fast and simple algorithm to eliminate 32 + * runs of zeroes. Each chunk of compressed data begins with a length byte, b. 33 + * If b < n (where n is the compression parameter) then the next b + 1 bytes 34 + * are literal values. If b >= n then the next (256 - b + 1) bytes are zero. --snipp i`m curious - what does that mean? does zfs have another compression scheme named "zle" now ? if yes, why ? wasn´t zero-length encoding already there and just a "builtin feature" ? maybe that builtin has now become an option ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
