Hey all, Compressed send/recv has just landed on OpenZFS / illumos. If you are using compressed ARC, you can now use the -c or --compressed options to zfs send, and it will create a send stream which uses compressed filesystem contents as is. This should increase your logical throughput by approximately the compressratio of the filesystems you're sending with no additional CPU overhead on the sending or receiving systems. (You should also use the -L and -e options to enable large / embedded block sending optimizations for optimal sending performance.)
For more information, see my talk at the developer summit last year ( https://youtu.be/LaNgoAZeTww?t=19m50s), check out zfs(1m), or feel free to email me. Thanks!
