Dear folks, My problem is that new file created at /usr won't be compressed. I accenticly that none of my files under /usr is compressed[1], so I tried to run `sudo btrfs fi def -czstd -v -r /usr` to compress them, that seems to work. And `sudo compsize /usr` now gives Processed 431312 files, 224528 regular extents (230971 refs), 253758 inline. Type Perc Disk Usage Uncompressed Referenced TOTAL 56% 7.2G 12G 13G none 100% 3.5G 3.5G 3.5G zstd 39% 3.6G 9.2G 9.7G This seems pretty good, but when I am testing dding to dump a file to /usr to test compress for new file, problem happens: [root@yan-desktop /]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/1 bs=10240 count=10000 记录了10000+0 的读入 记录了10000+0 的写出 102400000字节（102 MB，98 MiB）已复制，0.0426441 s，2.4 GB/s [root@yan-desktop /]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/etc/1 bs=10240 count=10000 记录了10000+0 的读入 记录了10000+0 的写出 102400000字节（102 MB，98 MiB）已复制，0.0585055 s，1.8 GB/s [root@yan-desktop /]# compsize /usr/1 Processed 1 file, 1 regular extents (1 refs), 0 inline.

Type Perc Disk Usage Uncompressed Referenced TOTAL 3% 3.0M 97M 97M zstd 3% 3.0M 97M 97M Just ignore those Chinese output by dd, it doesn't important... But as you can see: file created at /usr/1 is not compressed at all while file created at /etc/1 gets compressed. There should not be any difficult to compress all-zero contents for zstd. There should not be so much difference between /usr and /etc, they are in same subvolume named "root" mounted at /. [root@yan-desktop /]# btrfs su li / ID 256 gen 1530662 top level 5 path home ID 257 gen 1530662 top level 5 path root ID 266 gen 1530614 top level 257 path var/lib/machines ID 292 gen 1530585 top level 257 path var/lib/mock ...[some container storage subvolumes] and mount options for / is rw,noatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:3,ssd,space_cache=v2,subvolid=257,sub vol=/root (subvol=root,noatime,compress=zstd in fstab) lsattr /|grep -E "var|etc" gives -------------------- /etc -------------------- /var `btrfs property get /usr` or `btrfs property get /etc` gives empty output. How do I troubleshoot this problem? [1] That is also a problem since I setup compress after upgrading to fedora 34, and have done many package updates since then. So new extents written to /usr should be compressed while compsize reports none of them. -- Qiyu Yan GPG keyid: 0x4FC914F065F2DF12 About: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yanqiyu
