Format and mount file ZFS

[assp...@gmail.com]

I'd like to play with ZFS with out mucking with parition changes.  How can one format a blank file  zfs and set mount options like compression?

Use files to build a pool and all functions if ZFS ate available. Here is a rather dated example. Once the filesystem is created on the pool you can set compression.
