Description of problem: Documentation related to btrfs compression options needs to be upgraded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.30.2-3.fc27.x86_64 btrfs-progs-4.11.1-3.fc27.x86_64 Others? How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. man mount or man 5 btrfs 2. Read about compression options 3. Note lack of "zstd" documentation Actual results: Only "zlib", "lzo", and "no" are mentioned in the documentation Expected results: All compression options for btrfs, including "zstd" should be documented. Additional info: Note that the "zstd" compression option has been available and working for some time now. The actual "zstd" compression seems to work fine. It's just that the documentation hasn't caught up yet. I also wonder if there are other filesystems that have a compression option and their docs need to be updated too.
$ whereis -m btrfs btrfs: /usr/share/man/man8/btrfs.8.gz /usr/share/man/man5/btrfs.5.gz $ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man5/btrfs.5.gz btrfs-progs-4.11.1-3.fc27.x86_64 Reassign to btrfs-progs.
Note that the documentation for the mount command in util-linux also needs to be updated.
The man page mount.8 does not contain btrfs section any more (since util-linux v2.32 -- f28). I have doubts it's important enough to fix it in F27 by any extra patch.
Understood.

I pushed btrfs-progs-4.17.1 to testing. from the current btrfs(5): compress, compress=type, compress-force, compress-force=type (default: off) Control BTRFS file data compression. Type may be specified as zlib, lzo, zstd or no (for no compression, used for remounting). ... compress_zstd (since: 4.14) the zstd compression has been used on the filesystem, either as a mount option or via btrfs filesystem defrag.
