Hello there,
So, let's see if I got it right: if i put in / as a path, it should
compress the entire harddrive right?
If not, how should I go about doing that? I don't think it would be a
good idea to compress the /boot directory, cause the docs don't
recommend it, but how would I go about compressing the entire root
partition with all the file and such?
The path /dev/sda gives me an error.
Thanks for any answer.
Best regards.

small, one sentence explanation of how to add the required path to the end of the command

in more casual tinkerers trying the new change out.
