| 1 | What can I use for a compressed file system? I am looking at setting up |
| 2 | a loopback mounted filesystem that I want to use to store backups into. |
| 3 | Compression is needed as space will become a limitation in the future (I |
| 4 | want to do a whole system backup that so far is 2:1 compressed via |
| 5 | tar.bzip2. I am thinking of using dirvish into a compressed loopback |
| 6 | mount - but how do I set up a compressed fs? |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Squashfs, cloop and zisofs are readonly, I have looked at encfs (looks |
| 9 | nice), but it doesnt seem to compress, just encrypt and I dont want the |
| 10 | overhead, or need it. e2compr looks a bit like abandonware - what else |
| 11 | is available? |
