yeah but this is talking about fusecompress's compression algo not the one used in the data. with fusecompress_offline lets you move from one algo to another. you can verify this on a mounted partition create a .bzip2 file on the raw directory you can still zless it - it is untouched - try and fuseocmpress_offline and it failes because it is one of the types that are not compresses. > pression method.
