How to remount btrfs without compression?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Is there any possibility to remount a compressed btrfs without any compression at all?

Syslinux bootloader does not understand any btrfs compression and whenever I edit syslinux.cfg on my compressed / subvolume, the file becomes compressed and thus unreadable by syslinux on the next boot.

I tried to remount / without the 'compress' option (and edit syslinux.cfg in uncompressed state) and while the "mount" command would not show compression any more, I can see in the /proc/mounts that compression is still there and the file still gets compressed after editing. But there seem to be no mount option like compress=none or something.

The only workaround I found is to boot from a live CD mount / without any compression and re-save syslinux.cfg. Then it the file gets uncompressed.

Are there any other options except for this workaround to temporarily remount btrfs without compression?

thanks
