first of all, thank you for releasing ZEVO ZFS, and together with the MacZFS community keeping ZFS for OSX alive. I feared for the worst when tenscomplement shuttered its doors, and am much relieved to see things continue.
Second, I understand limiting the pool size and disabling dedup, however I think the limiting of gzip compression to gzip-6 is a bad choice. I've been using ZEVO with gzip-9 for the past several months, and was perfectly happy with the space-speed tradeoff that I received that way. Could you please reconsider this, and not limit the choice of compression options?
In a related matter, if I do 'zfs get all' on a FS that I created with zevo from tenscomplement, the 'compression' option is not shown at all:
- Code: Select all
~ caronni$ zfs get all y |grep comp
y compressratio 1.21x -
~ caronni$ zfs get compression y
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
y compression - -
~ caronni$ zpool create z /Users/caronni/zfile
~ caronni$ zfs get all z |grep comp
z compressratio 1.00x -
z compression off default
Did I loose the compression setting on the old pool 'y' by importing it into greenbytes zevo? Maybe there is something here that you want to fix.
Be it as it may, please simply reinstate gzip-7 .. gzip-9 and the whole issue becomes moot
