How much compression do you get out of video files? My understanding is they are already pretty compressed so you don't see a great improvement. I have many terabytes of files on some drives, even 5% of savings could go a long way.
- shmerl 8y agoI didn't play with forced compression, so most of such files aren't compressed by btrfs. With forced compression, overall ratio will be higher. But if you have raw video, I expect it to kick in more. I.e. for my archive volume compression is quite low (99%). For example for games volume it's better (81%).
