There are three algorithms available: ZLIB, LZO and ZSTD (since v4.14), with various levels. The compression happens on the level of file extents and the algorithm is selected by file property, mount option or by a defrag command.Transparent compression is a btrfs feature that allows a btrfs filesystem to apply compression on a per-file basis. Of the three supported algorithms, zstd is the one with the best compression speed and ratio. Enabling compression saves space, but it also reduces write amplification, which is important for SSDs.Only files created or modified after the mount option is added will be compressed.To apply compression to existing files, use the btrfs filesystem defragment -calg command, where alg is either zlib, lzo or zstd. For example, in order to re-compress the whole file system with zstd, run the following command:Btrfs has many mount options that controls how the filesystem behaves. Except for the subvol and subvolid, all mount options affect the whole filesystem, and not the individual subvolume mounts.This means that specifying for example compress=zstd on the first mount, all subsequent mounts will inherit the compression option.. Linux VFS mount options like noatime do apply per mount point.Mount options for btrfs Btrfs is a copy-on-write filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while focusing on fault tolerance, repair, and easy administration. alloc_start=bytes Debugging option to force all block allocations above a certain byte threshold on each block device. Side note, my fstab line for mounting this partition is: UUID=be6...07fe /home btrfs defaults,compress=zlib 0 2. Summary: To check compression ratio on whole partition use these two commands: du -s /home df /home. Then divide the outputs.

When you run this command you can see what all is being compressed (but I can't remember if it covers subvolumes).Transparent compression is a btrfs feature that allows a btrfs filesystem to apply compression on a per-file basis. Of the three supported algorithms, zstd is the one with the best compression speed and ratio. Enabling compression saves space, but it also reduces write amplification, which is important for SSDs.Compression is automatic and transparent for Btrfs file systems. For slower storage devices on multiprocessor systems this will improve file system performance. Four compression options are available: no, zlib, lzo and zstd. The last two offer the best compression. Files created or modified after the file system is mounted will be compressed. space_cache This space_cache option will be selected while mounting a mount point which has Btrfs file system. This will store the free space cache on the disk to make the caching of a block much faster. Without this, Btrfs has to scan the entire tree every time looking for the free space that can be allocated. sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -v -r -czlib -f / defragment an BTRFS partition root using compression zlib. in fstab is possible select zlib compression 1 to 9. strange detail is that defrag command allow to select zlib, but not has any information if is possible select low or high compression.Oct 09, 2016 · rm -f ./initrd. # now insert SD into another device like a PC. # create a new btrfs partition for root. #create subvolume for root. btrfs sub create @. #move everything in "/" to @ except for /boot which remains ext4. # mkdir /boot on the NEW btrfs root filesystem.
