The stuff I care about is on dmcrypt (LUKS) for some time. Stuff I sorta care about on plain partitions. Stuff I don't care much about are either on LVM LV's (usually thinp), or qcow2. I have used compression for periods measured in months not years, both zlib and lzo, on both SSD and HDD, to no ill effect. But it's true some of the more abrupt and worse damaged file systems did use compress=lzo. Since lzo is faster and only a bit less better compression than zlib, it may be more people choose lzo and that's why it turns out if there's a problem with compression it happens to be lzo, coincidence rather than causation. I'm not even sure there's enough information to have correlation. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
