I read the man and web page, and ended up using the defaults: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
$ mkfs.btrfs /dev/xyz |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
To use compression, just mount with "-o compress". That's all :) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
/etc/fstab: |
| 35 |
/dev/mapper/vg0-portage /gentoo btrfs noatime,compress 0 2 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I installed sys-fs/btrfs-progs-0.19-r1 and I have the 'acl' flag on. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I haven't done anything fancy since then, and it justworks(tm) ;) |
