If I know correctly, defrag will always duplicate the reflink files.

https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Defragmentation.html

Defragmentation does not preserve extent sharing, e.g. files created by cp --reflink or existing on multiple snapshots. Due to that the data space consumption may increase.

It is only for new data.

For example, you would have to defragment your filesystem again with btrfs filesystem defragment -r -v -czstd /. Where zstd is an algorithm and /, a root path. With this command, the default compression level will be used, which is level 3.

Be careful, defragmenting the btrfs file system will/can duplicate the data.

As for a mount point, if you decided to use zstd algorithm with level 1 compression, just add the compress=zstd:1 or compress-force=zstd:1 to the mount options (fstab or while mounting manually)
