 For non-snapshots, the compression ratio achieved for the \fBused\fR space of this dataset, expressed as a multiplier.  The \fBused\fR property includes descendant datasets, and, for clones, does not include the space shared with the origin snapshot.  For snapshots, the \fBcompressratio\fR is the same as the \fBrefcompressratio\fR property.  The \fBcompression\fR property controls whether compression is enabled on a dataset.
