and
.Cm ztsd:frame-per-file
options.
Sensible frame sizes are powers of 2 between the system's base page size
(see
.Xr arch 7 )
and the value of the
.Sy kern.maxphys
sysctl.
Smaller frames will generally yield a worse compression ratio and require extra
kernel memory to maintain an index, and larger frames will on average require
more CPU time to access data when performing random I/O.
