Hi list,

what is the status of transparent compression in a linux filesystem 
(read/write)? wikipedia[1] says jfs has one. Is this true? I don't think 
so. Hans Reiser proclaimed to have a reiser4 compression plugin before 
2.6.1[4-5]. Where is it? Has someone tried extz[2]? chattr(1) tells me to 
set the (c) attribute. But this seems not to work: writing 100MB /dev/zero 
to a --------c---- ./test file on a 100MB partion results in disk full.

There is a true gap in the linux market. Isn't it?
