Steam Deck BTRFS was working well before, now it's eating storage space
I believe compression on mount is enabled. Steam runs sdcard-mount.sh on startup, and from the beginning I've been using a modified version of this file that mounts with compression enabled, if I'm reading it correctly (the option compress-force=zstd:15).

Cannot find sdcard-mount.sh after the update
I formatted my SD card with BTFS to use it on Windows partition. Everytime when I get an update, I was just changing the sdcard-mount.sh file (I am following this : https://github.com/Trevo525/btrfdeck). However, after today's update, I couldn't find the files as they used to be.

SD card unusable after trying to format it to btrfs
Hello. I first used this program here https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs and succesfully converted the main partition to btrfs. I forgot that it formats new sd cards to btrfs, and I also followed this guide https://github.com/Trevo525/btrfdeck I went to gaming mode and tried to format the sd card, but it says that there has been an error during the format no matter how many times I try. I connected the sd card to the pc:
- Bought a 1TB SD Card. I figured this little preventive measure is essential to protecting my removable storage investment.
- Was it ever possible to read the SD card on Windows?
- btrfdeck compress-force a bad idea?
- 1TB SSD + 1TB SDCARD.. Running good so far.

Bug Hunting in Btrfs
Can this be used? I knew ReactOS would use it natively.

And so it begins. Im debating on weather to go BTRFS or NTFS.
I loose out on BTRFS snapshotting and subvolumes then. And if you look at winbtrefs it’s more than a hobbiest project. It has quite active development progress constantly https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

I don’t know if that tool allows to write but this GitHub page https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs seems mature enough. I am still unsure to trust it because I could bork my SSD and files

Uh oh. Used WinBtrfs to run a balance check on the partition with the Linux OS on it and now the drive is locked and it's booting into emergency mode
https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs scroll down to mappings and that *should help with sharing things between both OSes.
