this was a quick aid, please see attached file for an updated tool to set the file flags, now added 'z' for NOCOMPRESS flag, and supports chattr syntax plus all of the standard file flags. Setting and unsetting nocow is done like 'fileflags +C file' or -C for unseting. Without any + or - options it prints current state. david
