Subject: Setting options permanently?

Hi,
just a question:
Mounting options for file systems are usually given on the command line
or in /etc/fstab.
Both do not work with mobile storage devices like usb hard disks, since
they are either mounted automatically through the desktop, or manually
by a user who does not know or remember the mount options for this file
system. At least it's error prone.
What happens if a btrfs is mounted sometimes with and sometimes without
the compression option? I'd guess it generates a mixture of compressed
and uncompressed files, what is not exactly smart.
Is there a way to set options like compression on a btrfs permanently to
activate them even when mounted automatically by the desktop or manually
by a third person?
regards
Hadmut
