You are changing a number of different things with each of your tests, not just Lustre. It could be ZFS 2.1.5->2.1.15 or Alma 8.6->8.10 is also causing issues... Hard to say for sure without apples-to-apples comparisons.
It should be possible to build Lustre 2.15.5 on Alma 8.6 + ZFS 2.1.5 to help isolate the issue. There was LU-19193<https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-19193> filed recently about ZFS and blocksize detection, which might hurt ZFS compression, but that was never landed on 2.15.

Now compression works as expected when PFL is enabled. What I have tested so far is: AlmaLinux 9.4 - Lustre 2.16.1 - ZFS 2.1.16 - No compression with PFL AlmaLinux 8.10 - Lustre 2.15.7 - ZFS 2.2.8 - No compression with PFL AlmaLinux 8.10 - Lustre 2.15.5 - ZFS 2.1.15 - No compression with PFL AlmaLinux 8.6 - Lustre 2.15.1 - ZFS 2.1.5 - PFL + compression works as expected I tried installing 2.15.2, 2.15.3 and 2.15.4 but that failed with ksym errors. It seems that somewhere between lustre 2.15.1 and 2.15.5 the PFL + compression breaks. gr, Martin Balvers Cheers, Andreas — Andreas Dilger Lustre Principal Architect Whamcloud/DDN
