 Note that 'FRAG' probably doesn't mean what you expect it to mean,
and you probably don't need to worry about it.

 The ZFS FRAG percentage here is how fragmented *free space* is, not
how fragmented your data is, and the details are arcane. A pool with
low FRAG has most of its free space in large contiguous segments; a
pool with high FRAG has most of the free space broken up into small
pieces. FRAG is essentially a measure of how hard ZFS will have to
work to find space for new data.

(These were current as of late 2015, but the details might have changed
slightly since then.)
