Calculate the compression ratio of a set of files on a btrfs filesystem.
See also btrfs filesystem
for recompressing a file by defragmenting it.
More information: https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize.
-
Calculate the current compression ratio for a file or directory:
sudo compsize {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
-
Don't traverse filesystem boundaries:
sudo compsize --one-file-system {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
-
Show raw byte counts instead of human-readable sizes:
sudo compsize --bytes {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
