BTRFS Transparent Compression
The tool compsize can give you info about the compression state of your data. For example:
-
Is anyone else having problems with the zfs AUR packages? Specifically, zfs-dkms?
The obvious example is the Raid5/Raid6 implementation which is officially not recommended for current use; though that's not something I would use anyways. But I've also found that stuff like listing the compression ratio for volumes requires a separate program, unlike zfs where it's built-in.
- compsize: btrfs: find compression type/ratio on a file or set of files
-
Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.

Bringing Bcachefs to Linux Mainline
I'm going to add my N=1 anecdata if no one minds:
I've been running full Btrfs on my workstation since December 2021 with 0 issues (kernel 5.10). It survived multiple hard reboots and power offs, Ryzen 5000 CPUs seems to lose power every now and then on Linux (it's a known issue for years now that no one has figured out yet).
Having compression is great. compsize reports I've saved 33GB on my /home subvolume so far (https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize). I don't use snapshots, I just backup the whole thing.
Obviously this doesn't mean that in the future Btrfs won't eat my data, but so far it hasn't and I'm happy.

Adding options to fstab?
You can also use this tool to find out what the compression ratio of the data is ;).

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.
- Signs of SD card failure or user/Steam Deck issue?

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.

Am i just being dumb or is there no way to put things on a Micro SD card on my PC, and use that card on my Deck?
