btrfs zstd compression cuts 35GB of daily agent JSON output to ~1/20 the disk space
mgostIH · x · 2026-10-30
Developer mgostIH shares a practical tip for running coding agents: with btrfs zstd compression enabled, the 35GB of JSON logs agents spit out daily occupies about 1/20 the disk space. He also symlinks cargo's target dir to tmpfs so build artifacts hit RAM instead of the SSD.
