Hello!
Is there a way in the Fedora 32 installer to set the compression mount
option for a new BTRFS filesystem before installing Fedora itself? I
know I can add the option to the fstab file after installation, reboot,
and then run the defragment command to compress after the fact, but it
would be convenient if I could just have the filesystem compressed right
away during installation.
Also, from what I've read I think I already know the answer to this, but
I'll ask to make sure: is it possible to set the compression option
persistently in the filesystem itself? It would be nice if I could have
an external USB hard drive (with its obvious IO bottleneck) compressed
as well. However, it seems like I would then have to always manually
mount the drive with the compression option, or set the compression
attribute after mounting. Either way, this isn't persistent. I also know
I could set the disk's UUID to always be mounted with the compression
option, but that is specific to one machine.
