Subject: compression on external hard drive?
Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 00:11:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51A1372B.6060402@gnata.eu> (raw)

Hello list,

Nowdays, external hard drives are mounted automagically by kde, gnome or 
whatever else.
How is it suppose to work with external hard drives using btrfs with 
compression?
If a btrfs filesystem lzo-compressed is mounted without the 
|compress=|xxx option then all the newly created files are uncompressed, 
aren't then?
Would it be possible to detect if a file system is compressed  and to 
mount it *automatically* and accordingly (except otherwise explicitly 
stated by the user) with/without the lzo/gzip option?

Xavier
