Calculate the compression ratio of a set of files on a btrfs filesystem.
See also `btrfs filesystem` for recompressing a file by defragmenting it.
More information.
- Calculate the current compression ratio for a file or directory:
sudo compsize {path/to/file_or_directory}
- Don't traverse filesystem boundaries:
sudo compsize --one-file-system {path/to/file_or_directory}
- Show raw byte counts instead of human-readable sizes:
sudo compsize --bytes {path/to/file_or_directory}
