[dolphin] [Bug 412565] Mount options
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412565 --- Comment #5 from Recesvintvs --- I don't know the reason, but seems that old files hadn't been written using any compression. It seems that the small compression shown by Compsize corresponds with recently writen files, which are, effectively, being well compressed, reaching ratios up to 74% size reduction in folders with text only files. Perhaps ancient versions of Dolphin didn't work very well, perhaps I had some bad installation issue. Who knows. But I have tested mounting both automatically in Dolphin and manually in Konsole, in 2 different disks, and the compression now is always done in the same amount, 37% in average. So Dolphin is working as expected and I'll have to defrag my BTRFS disk to recover some nice GBs. You can mark this bug as invalid or what you consider adequate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412565 --- Comment #4 from Recesvintvs --- I'm also afraid I don't know much about BTRFS or any other file system format. I'm just an average user and my technical knowledge is rather basic. The only way I know to verify how a partition has been mounted is simply using the command "mount", and a "mount | grep sdb1" returns: /dev/sdb1 on /run/media/myuser/mountpoint type btrfs (rw,noatime,compress=zstd:3,noacl,space_cache,commit=60,subvolid=5,subvol=/) I don't know if that's the correct way, but in case it is, I think that something is failing because even if mount says that zstd compression is being used, the numbers say the opposite. I can't believe that I get only a testimonial 1% of compression if zstd compression were really working. I'll test by mounting the external disk manually creating a folder and copying some files, and then remounting with Dolphin, repeating the process and looking if it makes any difference. In case it would, I'll report back. In case it would not, I suppose the problem must come from something else and this bug should be closed. Thank you. And if some other people read this and have any suggestion, I'm open to try them to solve the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412565 --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- I'm afraid I don't know anything about BTRFS so I can't help you ascertain whether or not your partition is being mounted in the way you expect or not. Please do add a comment if you're able to discover that it's being mounted in a way that ignores the options you've set in /etc/fstab. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I read somewhere, I think it was in the KDE forums, some years ago, that Dolphin had its own mount method. Perhaps was an old post. There's a lot of outdated info in KDE forums and many blogs that is obsolete and should be updated or deleted. Anyway, the case is that Compsize (https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize) reports this about one of my docs-only folders: Processed 16313 files, 12991 regular extents (12992 refs), 5967 inline. Type Perc Disk Usage Uncompressed Referenced TOTAL 99% 13G 13G 13G none 100% 13G 13G 13G lzo 49% 2.8M 5.6M 5.6M zstd34% 5.7M 16M 16M I can't really swear the partition in question is being mounted incorrectly or the problem comes from other side, but considering this is a folder which content is only text documents, seems obvious that the BTRFS compression is not being used. Some PDF in this folder contain embedded JPG images and some others are PDF with the format's builtin compression, thus BTRFS doesn't try to [re]compress them, that's true, but a great percentage of the files in this folder are EPUB, ODT, DOC, TXT, MD, HTML... A miserable 1% of compression is way too few to believe that compression is really being applied. Could you tell me if I can do any test or use any especific tool to make sure that Dolphin is the culprit, or not? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
