Re: btrfs subvolume mount with different options

Thanks, chattr +C is that's what I am currently using.
Also you already answered my next question, why it is not possible to set +C attribute on the existing file :)


Yours sincerely,

You can have use different compression algorithms across the filesystem
(including none), via "btrfs properties" on directories or subvolumes. They
are inherited down the tree.

$ mkdir test
$ sudo btrfs prop set test compression zstd
$ echo abc > test/def
$ sudo btrfs prop get test/def compression
compression=zstd

But it appears this doesn't provide a way to apply compress-force.

Nodatacow can be applied to any dir/subvolume recursively, or any file (as long as it's created but not
written yet) via chattr +C.
