I'm using compression on a cephfs-data pool in luminous. I didn't do
anything special
$ sudo ceph osd pool get cephfs-data all | grep ^compression
compression_mode: aggressive
compression_algorithm: zlib
You can check how much compression you're getting on the osd's
$ for osd in `seq 0 11`; do echo osd.$osd; sudo ceph daemon osd.$osd
perf dump | grep 'bluestore_compressed'; done
osd.0
"bluestore_compressed": 686487948225,
"bluestore_compressed_allocated": 788659830784,
"bluestore_compressed_original": 1660064620544,
<snip>
osd.11
"bluestore_compressed": 700999601387,
"bluestore_compressed_allocated": 808854355968,
"bluestore_compressed_original": 1752045551616,
I can't say for mimic, but definitely for luminous v12.2.5 compression
is working well with mostly default options.
