I have a 13GB text file.  I turned ZFS compression on with "zfs set
compression=on mypool".  When i copy the 13GB file into another file, it
does not get compressed (checking via du -sh).  However if i set
compression=gzip, then the file gets compressed.

Is there a limit on file size with the default compression algorithm?  I
did experiment with a much smaller file of 0.5GB with the default
compression and it did get compressed.

I am using S10 U8 x86/64.

Regards,
