I tried to my home partition the 'find' command and worked without
errors, not sure if it did compress (how can I check?). I tried also
on the root partition and every file that was in use (obviously) it
didn't defrag it. I am guessing I have to mount the partition from a
LiveCD but since the LiceCD kernel is usually old (in terms of btrfs)
do you reckon there will be any problems?
Thanks
