I've forgot to add, that for compression, this, again, works only for newly

you might want to run a defragmentation `sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r

There was a recent article about that too:
There was an article back in the days of btrfs introduction that described the
process: https://fedoramagazine.org/convert-your-filesystem-to-btrfs/
I've used it myself without any issues back then, I would assume it's still
safe to do so now.

Dear All,
I have always upgraded Fedora from the previously installed version.
Consequently, I still have ext4. To have btrfs, is it needed to do a

Unfortunately it takes a little extra work to setup the subvolumes
correctly. I found an article (on reddit?) and mine are setup as:

Nice. So you can casually disregard any comment right away. Clever.

/boot is critical and using a well debugged file system for it to me
seems like an excellent idea. But if you want yours on btrfs, by all
means put yours there.
At this point, I doubt that EXT2 is better debugged than BTRFS, and its
use has a number of detrimental effects

We've now had BTRFS as the default filesystem for some time in Fedora.
However, there has been almost nothing done to take advantage of its
capabilities.

I thought zstd level 1 was the default for SSDs and level
I believe LSB calls for the eventual migration to btrfs as default
filesystem. For Linux in general from ext.

Ending of ext? Hopefully never. They are like the fats, old reliable, and

We've now had BTRFS as the default filesystem for some time in Fedora.
However, there has been almost nothing done to take advantage of its

FWIW there are some fixes and enhancements coming in btrfs-progs 6.1, now in
koji for Rawhide, including making it easier to get info about hibernation file
offset in a swapfile.
I haven't messed with the new subcommand, but I personally prefer putting
swapfiles in their own subvolume so
s on HDD or SSD is far worse then using the zswap in almost
all desktop workloads.
My advice is to not bother adding a swap file, you are very unlikely to ever
need it.
