Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and compression speed.
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted the tarball.
(time in second)
lzo zlib nocompress
copy: 10.6 21.7 14.9
extract: 70.1 94.4 66.6
(data size in MB)
lzo zlib nocompress
copy: 185.87 108.69 394.49
extract: 193.80 132.36 381.21
Other:
The defrag ioctl is also updated, so one can choose lzo or zlib when
turning on compression in defrag operation.
TODO:
- Update btrfs-progs accordingly.
