Public bug reported:
I'm running a just-installed-today copy of 16.04.1, installed from an
ISO also just downloaded today from releases.ubuntu.com.
root@xenial:~# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

I noticed that zfs get compressratio was not returning good results, and
tested to ensure it was the compressratio reporting that was broken, not
the actual compression. Demonstration:
root@xenial:~# zfs get compress data/test
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
data/test compression gzip local
root@xenial:~# zfs list data/test
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
data/test 2.64G 855G 2.64G /data/test
Note that data/test has inline gzip compression on, and shows 2.64G of
data USED.
root@xenial:~# du -hs --apparent-size /data/test
9.2G /data/test
root@xenial:~# du -hs /data/test
2.7G /data/test
Now note that du correctly shows us that we have 9.2G of data stored in
data/test (about 7G of which is actually a dump from /bin/zero for max
compressibility, the other bit being an Ubuntu VM image file).
We should be seeing a compressratio of about 3.41x.
root@xenial:~# zfs get compressratio data/test
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
data/test compressratio 1.01x -
But we're seeing 1.01x. Obviously very much not correct.
