You have this backwards btw. zlib has higher compression ratios, and LZO is faster. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Compression#What_is_the_default_compression_method.3F
My RN202 uses zlib - if you are using ssh, you can see this by entering
btrfs property get /volumename/sharename
Unfortunately there is no way to see the compression ratio for a file. https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Can_I_find_out_compression_ratio_of_a_file.3F
Note bitrot protection must be enabled to create a compressed share.
Does OS 6 use the compress or compress-force mount option?
I'm considering enabling compression for a share that will have both compressible and incompressible files and I want to ensure that it doesn't try to compress incompressible files.
Thanks,
