What compression type do you recommend for a ZFS dataset that will contain files encrypted with PEFS or another encryption method?
Does compression provide any practical benefit in this case, or is it better to disable it entirely?
you will have random data which is basically not compressible. I would suggest no compression or lz4 which is very fast in compression and decompression of data as well as detecting whether data is compressible.
If you have some original files, why not manually try the different compression algorithms? You may find one that does the best (you define what best means) or you may find, they all do nothing.
