Problem

How to use the compsize command: Calculate the compression ratio of a set of files on a btrfs filesystem. See also: btrfs filesystem. More information: <https://manned.org/compsize>.

Solution

compsize — Calculate the compression ratio of a set of files on a btrfs filesystem. See also: btrfs filesystem. More information: <https://manned.org/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 {{[-x|--one-file-system]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}


Show raw byte counts instead of human-readable sizes:
sudo compsize {{[-b|--bytes]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
