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.

  • As per the Arch wiki: "To use compression, include the compression option: # mkfs.f2fs -l mylabel -O extra_attr,inode_checksum,sb_checksum,compression /dev/sdxY". Commented Oct 2, 2021 at 19:18
