From 57858fb5ca4b1d0f28b054cb5e15aaf3bc54c99e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Swanson Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 15:21:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Recommend compression=on in zfs(8) dedup section compression=lz4 depends on the lz4 feature being enabled, while compression=on will let ZFS use either lzjb or lz4 where appropriate. It also allows the documentation to not go out of date if/when ZFS picks a new default in the future.
