Is it worth it making a ZFS partition with compression for Postgres in order to save space? I assume since it's mostly text it should compress fairly well.
Or is there a better FS for compression?

@matrix I've read a couple docs on it now, it sounds like it works fine. However, you will want to follow a guide because it requires some configuration on the postgresql server.
@Moon @matrix and also shouldn't compressing a database be seen as a last resort to just expanding the partition?
@lewdthewides @matrix @Moon cost per gig buying at 4tb is ridiculously cheap. It’s never been easier to digitally hoard; use coupons and get a 4TB nas HDD (only ~$100/ ~$120) for basically nothing
