The \fBgzip\fR compression algorithm uses the same compression as the \fBgzip\fR(1) command. You can specify the \fBgzip\fR level by using the value \fBgzip-\fR\fIN\fR where \fIN\fR is an integer from 1 (fastest) to 9 (best compression ratio). Currently, \fBgzip\fR is equivalent to \fBgzip-6\fR (which is also the default for \fBgzip\fR(1)).
Setting compression to \fBon\fR indicates that the current default
compression algorithm should be used. The default balances compression
and decompression speed, with compression ratio and is expected to
work well on a wide variety of workloads. Unlike all other settings for
this property, \fBon\fR does not select a fixed compression type. As
new compression algorithms are added to ZFS and enabled on a pool, the
default compression algorithm may change. The current default compression
algorthm is either \fBlzjb\fR or, if the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature is
enabled, \fBlz4\fR.
