I found that zfs's compression (available with Ubuntu's install) was not 
satisfactory on small eMMCs
because it requires a seperate /boot partition and does not support swap files.

The F2FS filesystem supports compression, with a special caveat that in order 
to actually make
the files consume less space (they always use less space, which effects 
performance and health),
they must be marked as immutable, and before being changed they must be marked 
as mutable again,
consuming the uncompressed size in terms of filesystem accounting.

dpkg has a good idea of what files are read-only, and could be configured to 
mark files as immutable,
except conffiles, which would make installation on of Debian tiny Chromebook 
eMMCs a much better
experience than with ext4.

Thanks,

Shawn Paul Landden
