What can I use for a compressed file system? I am looking at setting up
a loopback mounted filesystem that I want to use to store backups into.
Compression is needed as space will become a limitation in the future (I
want to do a whole system backup that so far is 2:1 compressed via
tar.bzip2. I am thinking of using dirvish into a compressed loopback
mount - but how do I set up a compressed fs?
Squashfs, cloop and zisofs are readonly, I have looked at encfs (looks
nice), but it doesnt seem to compress, just encrypt and I dont want the
overhead, or need it. e2compr looks a bit like abandonware - what else
is available?
linux+FS+compression+rw=lost. use windows :-O or solaris. May be you can
try FUSE + http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems.
