As far as I know it is possible to enable on new partition. Is there any way to enable compression on existing f2fs partition? I don't want to wipe and create a new partition to enable this feature.

Unfortunately, this has to be enabled upon creation. You will have to create a new partition and enable it by passing the compression option.

  • Can you provide, as requested, any authoritative source to back the claim? – CAFxX Oct 02 '21 at 11:39
  • As per the [Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/F2FS#Compression): "To use compression, include the `compression` option: `# mkfs.f2fs -l mylabel -O extra_attr,inode_checksum,sb_checksum,compression /dev/sdxY`". – telometto Oct 02 '21 at 19:18
