You can turn on compression at any time by changing the mount options in the fstab. After the next reboot, all newly written data from then on will be automatically compressed. Compression factors of 2:1 on average are not uncommon. | |||

Compression can only be set '''per volume'''. So if you set different "levels" of compression for different mounts in the fstab, only the first "level" will be applied.
