Yes, but remember that enabling compression *after* the fact will only compress new blocks (if I remember correctly). There's currently no way to have it go back and compress the existing data (someone correct me if I'm wrong). > Has there already been discussion on the real name for the default > root zpool?

A subtle, but nice touch; I wholeheartedly agree. "rp", "zp", et al. are great suggestions. Keeping the name small and short is likely to save a lot of wasted keystrokes as well.
