I have a zfs pool on a production system and I would like to see if it's possible to use zstd compression instead of the current gzip setting.
Is there any way to list available compression options?

I found the solution: Simply running zfs get will show the available options.
In my case, the answer is no - zstd is not available:
# zfs get
missing property argument
usage:
get [-rHp] [-d max] [-o "all" | field[,...]]
[-t type[,...]] [-s source[,...]]
<"all" | property[,...]> [filesystem|volume|snapshot|bookmark] ...
The following properties are supported:

yes

In your situation, you should consider lz4 if zstd is unavailable. – ewwhite Aug 03 '22 at 11:57

@ewwhite no because I need a high compression ratio more than speed. I just need to upgrade zfs – yes Aug 08 '22 at 14:56
