            Bug ID: 273030
           Summary: The ZFS default compression method described in the
                    handbook is not zstd.

The ZFS default compression method described in the handbook is not zstd.


The manual states that starting from FreeBSD 13.0, the default compression
algorithm for the installed ZFS has been changed to zstd. However, this change
has not been applied; I installed FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE and 14.0, and the
default parameters are still lz4. Is the issue here with the documentation or
with the default installation image?

Handbook https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/#zfs-zfs
22.4.11. Zstandard Compression
OpenZFS 2.0 added a new compression algorithm. Zstandard (Zstd) offers higher
compression ratios than the default LZ4 while offering much greater speeds than
the alternative, gzip. OpenZFS 2.0 is available starting with FreeBSD
12.1-RELEASE via sysutils/openzfs and has been the default in since FreeBSD
13.0-RELEASE.
