Doesn't btrfs utilize lz4 compression on some level? I know ZFS does.

lz4 support is work in progress, currently btrfs only supports zlib and lzo.

cathartes LQ Newbie Registered: Oct 2015 Location: U.S.A. Distribution: Slackware, Tails Posts: 20 Rep:	I'd like to second an earlier suggestion to upgrade texinfo to at least version 5.2, if not version 6. Among other things, more recent versions of R definitely require a newer texinfo to render the HTML and PDF documentation. Last edited by cathartes; 01-20-2016 at 12:38 PM.

just a note, mercurial is super easy to install via pip, so if you want you can always be on the latest version

pip install --user mercurial puts it into ~/.local, just add ~./local/bin to your path
