Remember to enable compression. Usually the Arch Wiki is a great resource to learn stuff: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/F2FS
And don’t forget to back up your data if you’re messing around with your computer. One typo with the device names is enough to accidentally delete your harddrive.

I tried to enable compression using the command they provide but it fails with an error saying “Error: Failed to get the device stat!”. Also, to make sure that I’m using the correct command line, how would I change the command they give to enable zstd as the compression method for all files.

I figured out what I did wrong but now I’m getting a different error. It’s saying “Error: Wrong features compress_algorithm=zstd” even though the page you linked to specifies that that should be possible.
