It depends if you use SVM (Solaris Volume Manager) or ZFS.

For ZFS you can easily activate compression for the dataset (filesystem) using:

pfexec zfs set compression=on the-name-of-your-pool/your-dataset

ZFS Compression - A Win-Win - The Observatory

I don't know if it is possible something like this using SVM or UFS.

Leandro.
