Subject: converting lzo compression to zlib compression?
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:16:53 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130617021653.4718a5e0@virtall.com> (raw)
I have a btrfs filesystem mounted with "compress=lzo" now.
I'd like to see how much space would I save by converting it to zlib.
Would it be possible to convert lzo compression to zlib compression
with the following:
- mount the filesystem with "compress=zlib"
- run balance
- when balance finishes, the data would be compressed with zlib
Would this work as above, or do I have to copy the data out and back to
convert from lzo compression to zlib compression?
