| 214 | +\fBlz4\fR is a high-performance real-time compression algorithm that |
| 215 | +features significantly faster compression and decompression as well as a |
| 216 | +higher compression ratio than the older \fBlzjb\fR compression. |
| 217 | +Typically, \fBlz4\fR compression is approximately 50% faster on |
| 218 | +compressible data and 200% faster on incompressible data than |
| 219 | +\fBlzjb\fR. It is also approximately 80% faster on decompression, while |
| 220 | +giving approximately 10% better compression ratio. |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +When the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature is set to \fBenabled\fR, the |
| 223 | +administrator can turn on \fBlz4\fR compression on any dataset on the |
| 224 | +pool using the \fBzfs\fR(1M) command. Please note that doing so will |
| 225 | +immediately activate the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature on the underlying |
| 226 | +pool (even before any data is written). Since this feature is not |
| 227 | +read-only compatible, this operation will render the pool unimportable |
| 228 | +on systems without support for the \fBlz4_compress\fR feature. At the |
| 229 | +moment, this operation cannot be reversed. Booting off of |
| 230 | +\fBlz4\fR-compressed root pools is supported. |
