yes , i would second that.

i am missing an option to setup btrfs with compress-force=zstd at installation time, to be able to install debian on small devices.

for now, i need to workaround by using terminal to remount btrfs and then btrfs recompress already written data by the installer. that works so far, but it sucks that it‘s not possible to pass fs / mount options at installation time

Dear Maintainer,

BTRFS includes more advanced filesystem features, such as subvolumes, RAID and
transparant compression. It would be excellent if these could be enabled using
Debian Installer without recourse to work arounds. Please consider adding this
during the Stretch development cycle, as BTRFS is becoming much more stable.

See bugs 748724 & 781531 in relation to wishlist items for RAID and specific mount options. I also understand that the Fedora installtion can create and use BTRFS subvolumes.

Thanks in advance.
