Sorry, but it's confusing. Some options are VFS, others are file system specific. The VFS options aren't Btrfs options at all, but look like they're per subvolume because subvolume mounts are really bind mounts behind the scene. And separate bind mounts can have separate VFS mount options. Compression is a Btrfs mount option and it applies only file system wide. It appears on every line in fstab as an artifact of the installer. The `/` line in fstab is unique in that it becomes a remount command. Everything else in fstab is either a new mount (other file systems) or additional bind mounts if it's the same Btrfs file system as `/` - In effect, the compression option for other subvolumes of the same file system don't matter, have no effect, because they aren't remounts. -- Chris Murphy -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
