15: Butter Up: Exploring Fedora's Transparent Compression

Chris Murphy, a developer working on BTRFS, explains the new transparent compression feature that will be enabled by default in Fedora 34 which automatically compresses files before writing to disk for space savings. He discusses the compression algorithm (zstd), performance impact, expected space savings, how to check compression stats, and the future roadmap for Butter FS features like snapshots/rollbacks.
