SUSE config: use Btrfs LZO compression for ResourceDisk
Btrfs provides support for transparent compression, which can be requested at mount time via the compress=type[:level] mount option. As demonstrated in [1], transparent LZO compression provides a good trade-off between compression ratio and performance, while also being supported by legacy SUSE kernels. zstd could be considered for modern SLE15-SP1+ / openSUSE Leap 15.1+ kernels. Amongst other benefits, moving from ext4 to Btrfs allows for ephemeral ResourceDisk data to be periodically and incrementally backed-up to regular Page Blob backed disks using btrfs send/recv. 1. Btrfs compression benchmarks mainline kernel commit: 5c1aab1dd5445ed8bdcdbb575abc1b0d7ee5b2e7 Signed-off-by: David Disseldorp <ddiss@suse.de>
