Running SXDE (snv_70) for a file server, and I must admit I'm new to Solaris and zfs. zfs does not appear to do any compression at all, here is what I did to set it up:
I created a four drive raidz array: zpool create pool raidz c0d0 c0d1 c1d0 c1d1 then an extra file system on that: zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/data pool/data After adding a bit of data (200GB or so), i figured that compression would in fact be a good idea: zfs set compression=on pool/data So far so good, "zfs get all" reports compression to be active. Now for the problem: After adding another 300GB of uncompressed .tif and .bin/.cue (audio CD) files, compression ratio is still at 1.00, indicating that no compression has taken place. Where did I go wrong? Anything I can do to get compression back after the cause for the problem has been fixed? All the data has been copied across a network, through Samba - set up according to instructions found in various Solaris forums. -- Joachim Hvorfor bruke fremmedord, når det finnes adekvate norske substitutter? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
