@alexia if you just want optimal compression bcachefs is very efficent at that, but the current implementation is still a bit unstable and shaky performance wise so you shouldn't be using it yet, but it's something to note

@alexia @niko I use zstd:9 on my desktop :3 and performance is pretty good still

@soop @alexia don't think compression would help a ton here tbh. media files already tend to be really compressed, and postgres also handles some compression (at least for text) on it's own

@alexia @soop btrfs-convert has failed and "ate my data" multiple times (i converted a disk image in place and also tried to make a new filesystem using the --rootdir flag and both times it failed)

@alexia @niko fyi once you do get set up with btrfs you'll want to disable the minecraft server\s builtin compression of region files

@soop @alexia looking into it a bit more, it seems like may actually help postgres in terms of disk space, but i'm unsure how much the perf regressions would be worth it
