Hello there,

So, let's see if I got it right: if i put in / as a path, it should compress the entire harddrive right?

If not, how should I go about doing that? I don't think it would be a good idea to compress the /boot directory, cause the docs don't recommend it, but how would I go about compressing the entire root partition with all the file and such?

The path /dev/sda gives me an error.

Thanks for any answer.

Best regards.

Francisco

Just a small thing, but as someone who never actually played around with 
filesystems so far, I was looking to try out the changes outlined in 
Changes/BtrfsTransparentCompression, but the command on the page:

btrfs filesystem defrag -czstd -r

doesnt work without an additional argument. This is pretty obvious for people 
who already worked with filesystems before, but I think it would be a good idea 
to add a small, one sentence explanation of how to add the required path to the 
end of the command (ie / in my case). It would help people like me from getting 
confused and hopefully bring in more casual tinkerers trying the new change out.

Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, I've updated that section.
