Have you tried –metadata single and –mixed as well as mounting with -o nospace_cache?

I tried that but it wont mount if I add nospace_cache. It’ll mount with: sudo mount -o compress=zstd:15 /dev/mmcblk0p1 ‘/home/j/mountpoint/128mb’ But if I add nospace_cache to this command, it’ll give me an error saying “mount: bad usage”.

Even though the “nospace_cache” option isn’t working, the rest of what you mentioned worked fine and there’s about 120MB of free space now, which is most of the device. I’m not sure if nospace_cache is worth trying to get since BTRFS only uses about 5MB of the device now. Also, with the files I was testing, I was able to get almost 250MB onto the device, which is better than what I think I would have gotten with F2FS. Anyways, thanks for helping me.
