Now I am wondering: what is "Data", "none" and "zstd"?
Or what are the differences between them.
After reading https://github.com/kilobyte/compsize/blob/master/README.md the clue is still missing.
I had no luck compiling compsize after installing btrfs-progs (or btrfsprogs)
I had to also install libbtrfs-devel described as include files and libraries for developing with Btrfs.
Would be nice to mention this in the Readme.md please.
Otherwise great tool, thank you very much!
An option to get raw values or even a json structure our of it would be great. This would allow machine readability.
I have a freshly created BTRFS file system with only one file. It is ca. 68GB in size when compressed:
[root@nas ~]# df -h /dev/sdc1
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1 932G 68G 863G 8% /mnt/m3
The uncompressed file is 257GB:
[root@nas ~]# du -h /mnt/m3/rav.img
257G /mnt/m3/rav.img
[root@nas ~]# ls -lh /mnt/m3
total 257G
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257G 12-25 17:02 rav.img
But when I use compsize, I get the following result:

Environment:
being curious - how can compsize show "none compressed" data of 1,6G when btrfs is mounted with compress-force=lzo ?
"There is a simple decision logic: if the first portion of data being compressed is not smaller than the original, the compression of the file is disabled -- unless the filesystem is mounted with -o compress-force. In that case it'll be compressed always regardless of the compressibility of the file. This is not optimal and subject to optimizations and further development. "

I would like an option to show the count of extents even on single files. Currently we only have that when choosing multiple input files.
Thanks for a great tool! 😊
i'm getting
root@pve-test1:/btrfs# compsize /btrfs/zstd/
All empty or still-delalloced files.
what does "still-delalloced" mean ?
looks like a typo to me !?
Could compsize be made safe to be setuid root, so that unprivileged users can check the compression of files they can read?
Hi,
your tool is very useful. I have just a request, can you avoid to call die() when errno==EACCES?
I suppose that we can just ignore the failing open() and continue.
(I will provide a PR if you need)

btrfs-progs removed some things that the compilation of compsize depends on. Please see.
There is an entry in the FAQ list of Fedora's Btrfs compression initiative which says that when using filefrag
on a compressed file, some of the reported extents are potentially in reality contiguous on the disk, which means that filefrag
is not a reliable way to tell file's fragmentation.
I've noticed that compsize
also reports much less extents for uncompressed files than for compressed files, which means that compsize
is likely also affected by the issue above, but I just wanted to confirm anyway.
I've moved a folder from another partition to the current one, mounted with compress-force=zstd
, to my surprise, with compsize I get:
rbenedetti at rbenedettid > $sudo compsize /mnt/HDDs/

The partition was empty before, I expected it to be forcible compressed to zstd, as it came from another file system.
When looking at the size of subvolumes and snapshots, I usually only want to look at the actual disk usage for the chosen set.
Example:
Instead of
# compsize foo
Processed 2778793 files, 79568 regular extents (1461600 refs), 1612739 inline.

does.

It's been proposed that for Fedora 34, transparent compression be enabled by default on btrfs volumes, and compsize
be offered as the standard tool for examining file compression on zstd-compressed volumes.
Given that compsize
would then be an enduser tool, including potentially for lay users, I felt that it might benefit from a few user-friendliness enhancements. Specifically:
-h
/ --help
arguments
$ compsize --help
compsize: unrecognized option '--help'
$ compsize
Usage: compsize file-or-dir1 [file-or-dir2 ...]
I'm building compsize on my distro's build system, and I got this error:
/bin/sh: line 1: /buildstream-install/usr/share/man/man8/compsize.8.gz: No such file or directory
The makefile doesn't ensure that the directory exists before trying to make a file in it. Ideally it should do that
Workaround:
I just ran mkdir
before make install

Currently, the Makefile ignores DESTDIR, making it impossible to use make to install this package in a distro setting without extra configuration. Instead, we have to do install -Dm755 compsize $DESTDIR$PREFIX/bin/compsize
or run make install PREFIX=$DESTDIR$PREFIX
which is unwieldly either way. Some distro build systems have the standard make commands baked in, and having to override the defaults is cumbersome
Please, it would be really useful for me if there was an options to print each file and its infos (Perc, Disk Usage, Uncompressed, Referenced, Comp Algorithm) in addition to only the "summary".
Thanks.
By default the program defaults to the most sane units for output, e.g. 12GB or 37MB but this doesn't allow for much precision. e.g. when comparing sizes, 11GB allows for almost 1GB of variance - 11GB could be anywhere between 10.5GB and 11.4GB.
Can you please add an option to specify the output units so that the values can be in more detail? e.g.
Data 83% 1.4G 1.7G 1.7G
... with such an option would allow you to specify Megabytes as the unit, and in turn show...
Data 83% 1432M 1722M 1722M

I found that compsize was slower than btrfs fi du, which shouldn't happen because btrfs fi du uses FIEMAP while compsize uses TREE_SEARCH_V2.

This is zeroing out a 16 MB memory buffer to read one inode, and it slows compsize down to the point where even glacial FIEMAP calls can catch up.
Changing the buffer size to 64K makes it run much faster:

64K is the largest possible metadata page size. TREE_SEARCH_V2 will never need space for an item that large, so you don't have to worry about an item being too large for the buffer.
A single program is better than nothing, but it can't replace a whole ecosystem of tools.
It would be nice to have a library that other programs can call, preferably just providing a compression-aware stat/lstat.
Even better would be a library that can be LD_PRELOADED and replaces lstat/stat (or for most Linux systems rather __lxstat seems to be what is called) overriding only the block count. This would then show compression naturally in programs like ncdu without needing any code changes in them.
While not entirely risk-free, most of the concerns of replacing st_blocks with the actual allocation shouldn't apply for this usage.

Sometimes very useful to see all size values in same measurement, for example in megabytes.
Also for parsing output in scripts will be good to have a raw bytes output for all sizes.

After upgrading from 5.8.5 to 5.8.8, compsize
does almost always abort with:
$ compsize -x /usr/
/usr/portage/distfiles/ndata-0.6.1.zip: Regular extent's header not 53 bytes (0) long?!?
on various directories and also on different subvolumes. Is there an upstream kernel change this tool needs to be adapted to?
Or something similar.
This will enable the user to find the command when using btrfs<TAB completion>
and it will be among the other useful btrfs tools.
It would be nice if compsize would show two additional columns to display the dedupe rate and total rate:
comp% = usage vs. uncompressed
dedupe% = uncompressed vs. referenced
total% = usage vs. referenced

What has happened?
Would it be possible to add a bit of code to show exclusive usage for subvolume? The only way to do that that I've found on the Internet seems to be to enable quota and then use btrfs qgroup show
. However, when I enable quota btrfs becomes unusable for a long time (at least 15 minutes) after snapshot creation, so I can't afford to do that.
Right now I have something like this:

I don't see if it's possible to calculate the exclusive usage for snapshots/bckash_6432
from these numbers.
So would it be possible to add a command line flag which would calculate usage only for files which are not reflinked? Then I could call btrfs-compsize
without that flag on the mirror
subvolume and after that call it with the flag on the snapshot
subvolume.
Any other method would be fine as well, this just looks as the simplest. But I don't quite understand how the code works, so I could be wrong.
I started to use btrfs compression to store disk images.. The values seemed to me incorrect so i made a try..
Created a file (approx 100G) with full zeroes..
The values seemed ok.
wrote few data to this file, in this case i created a loobpack device and made an ext4 formatted partition inside this file.
i unmounted. loopback detached..
This is what i got:

I'd like an option to use compsize to find files with extents matching some criteria and list them.
compsize --find
could have the following matches:
It should be possible to combine several matches.
The output can be a table with the path/filename + the chosen matches.
A possibly to sort the output would be great, or have an output format that can be piped to sort
.
My initial use-case is to find highly fragmented files so that I can manually defrag them. But also to analyse my files and how they are to determine if I should do some action on them.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post (possible) bugs. Anyway when I try to run compsize on root or my home folder, I get this error message:
