If I do "volume efficiency show -volume [volume] -instance", I see the following fields, which are clear:
- Inline Compression
- Inline Dedupe
However, there are no corresponding fields for "Background Compression" or "Background Dedupe". There is a field called simply "Compression", but it's unclear what that specifically refers to.
So my question is: How can I confirm at the command line whether or not background compression and background deduplication are enabled?
Related question: For the field "Data Compaction", is that an inline or a background process?
And one more related question: How do the volume-level fields above relate to an efficiency policy applied to the volume? Does the policy only apply to background efficiency settings, even though it can be set to run at a specific time as a "best -effort" (i.e. foreground) process? It's a little confusing!
