NAME
compsize - calculate compression ratio of a set of files on
btrfs
SYNOPSIS
compsize file‐or‐dir [ file‐or‐dir … ]
DESCRIPTION
compsize takes a list of files on a btrfs filesystem (recurs‐
ing directories) and measures used compression types and the
effective compression ratio. Besides compression, compsize
shows the effect of reflinks (cp ‐‐reflink, snapshots, dedu‐
plication), and certain types of btrfs waste.
The program gives a report similar to:
Processed 90319 files.
Type Perc Disk Usage Uncompressed Referenced
TOTAL 79% 1.4G 1.8G 1.9G
none 100% 1.0G 1.0G 1.0G
lzo 53% 446M 833M 843M
im not sure if im reading it right if the lzo line means ther compression enabled
but wither it is or not id like to set for the main an 2nd nvme ssds in
my rig the compression to be zstd at level 4 an some step by step help on how to do that
this is what my fstab file looks like
an how an were do i add the compress=zstd line ?
