Yep you can certainly do it that way.
If your concern is just that you already created it you can shut it off after the fact. All new blocks written will have compression disabled.

No, you actually caught be at the perfect time, the transfer to my temporary pool is almost done. I was just curious how inheritance worked on a pool but after giving it some thought, your recommendation makes more sense; turn it on when I know I need it vs turn it off when I know I don’t. Thanks for the advice.
