Hi list, |

what is the status of transparent compression in a linux filesystem |
| 4 |
(read/write)? wikipedia[1] says jfs has one. Is this true? I don't think |
| 5 |
so. Hans Reiser proclaimed to have a reiser4 compression plugin before |
| 6 |
2.6.1[4-5]. Where is it? Has someone tried extz[2]? chattr(1) tells me to |
| 7 |
set the (c) attribute. But this seems not to work: writing 100MB /dev/zero |
| 8 |
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? |
