I actually figure out the problem, I was actually supposed to just enable compression and then use the command when mounting. Only problem is, it’s not compressing the files even though I mounted it with zstd enabled.

Did you read the Wiki? You need to either pass the compress_extension option when mounting it. The Arch Wiki lists how to enable compression on all text files. And I gave you the version with a ‘*’, which enables compression for all files. Or you do a chattr -R +c ... on specific files or directories to compress them. Maybe you missed that and that’s why it doesn’t compress?! There’s probably also a way to debug it and somehow figure out what it does and how many files/sectors got compressed on the filesystem, but I’m not an expert on it.
