Compressed size of a filesystem

[Suman Chakravartula]

Hi,

I'd like to calculate the compressed size of a btrfs filesystem. I read
the wiki and understand the backward compatibility issues mentioned.
Also, the "df before and after" method doesn't work for me and I have no
control over when end users are writing to the filesystem.

Wiki says there's a patch which is not merged. Is that refering to this
discussion:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/14942

Why was the patch not merged?

I'll update the link.

Because the approach was abandoned in favor of a more generic solution
that reuses the existing interface (FIEMAP). The patchset implementing
this is
