I turned compression on for several ZFS filesystems and found performance was still fine. I turned gzip on and it was also fine and compression on certain filesystems is excellent. I realize all the files that were on the filesystem when compression=on did not get the benefit of gzip when I set compression=gzip.
I would like everything to be compressed with gzip. What's the easiest way for me to accomplish this? I figured some sort of copy back and forth is required, but I don't know what would be fastest. Should I just rsync everything to a new filesystem with compression=gzip set and then delete the original and and rename the new one, or zfs send or ?? Can I do a send and receive into a filesystem with attributes set as I want or does the receive keep the same attributes as well? Thank you. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
