Currently compression and I assume if encryption is implemented it is turned on or off during mount. There are however many times when a user may want to select which files/directories they want to compress or encrypt. This will also be helpful when implementing btrfs support in grub for example. We can say the disk can be compressed/encrypted except for /boot so compression/encryption doesn't have to be implemented in grub. I was thinking of adding this functionality to the userspace application btrfstune. The way I was thinking of doing this is when btrfstune +c is applied to a directory or file the directory(and all its contents) or file will always be compressed reguardless of how the filesystem is mounted. The opposite would happen when btrfstune -c is used. Would this be a reasonable thing to implement? Any suggestions before I start doing this?
