( I think zfs compresses filesystems, not files. So this
would be the equivalent of GNOME letting you set mount options
for a partition in 'about this file'. Assuming I'm wrong:)
It compresses all files in a filesystem. This can be turned off by
mountpoint.
As I understand the code it compresses blocks not files. This means
that if there is part of a file that is does compress 12.5% or more it
gets written to disk compressed. The parts that don't compress well
don't get compressed.
