Hi list,

just wondering whether it is possible to mount two subvolumes with different mount options, i.e.

|
|- /a  defaults,compress-force=lza
|
|- /b  defaults,nodatacow

since, when both subvolumes are mounted, and when I change the option for one it is changed for all of them.

thanks in advance.

You can have use different compression algorithms across the filesystem (including none), via "btrfs properties" on directories or subvolumes. They are inherited down the tree.

$ mkdir test
$ sudo btrfs prop set test compression zstd
$ echo abc > test/def
$ sudo btrfs prop get test/def compression
compression=zstd

But it appears this doesn't provide a way to apply compress-force.

|- /b defaults,nodatacow

Nodatacow can be applied to any dir/subvolume recursively, or any file (as long as it's created but not written yet) via chattr +C.

Thanks, chattr +C is that's what I am currently using.
Also you already answered my next question, why it is not possible to set +C attribute on the existing file :)

Yours sincerely,
Konstantin V. Gavrilenko
