Yes, I might want to encrypt all of my laptop's hard drive contents and

My two cents,
Assuming that you may pick a specific compression algorithm,
most algorithms can have different levels/percentages of
deflations/inflations which is effects the time to compress
and/or inflate wrt the CPU capacity.
Secondly, if I can add an

The other problem is that you basically need a global unique registry
anyway so that compress algorithm 1 is always lzjb, 2 is gzip, 3 is
etc etc. Similarly for crypto and any other transform.

I suppose what would have been nice to see, architecturally,
was a way to transform data at some part in the pipeline and
to be able to specify various types of transforms, be they
compression, encryption or something else. But maybe I'm
just dreaming without understanding the complexities of

With the blog entry[1] you've made about gzip for ZFS, it raises
a couple of questions...
1) It would appear that a ZFS filesystem can support files of
varying compression algorithm. If a file is compressed using
method A but method B is now active, if I truncate the file
