Hello,


I am trying to understand and use ZFS features. My issue is that compression doesn't work, indeed I have a pool and a filesystem named "home" and "home/compressed".
#zfs list

 NAME               USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
 home                       7.33G            180G   32K     home
 home/compressed  7.33G   180G  7.33G  /home/compressed

despite I did:
# zfs set compression=gzip home/compressed

I don't understand where it is wrong.

Thank you.
