No, the reason is completely unrelated to compression.
When you erase the file from ext2 filesystem, the blocks previously
occupied by it are not changed. And, as they were touched at least
once, they belong to /dev/loop1. /dev/loop1 just never shrinks because
there's no way for a data block to transition from "modified" to
"unmodified" state.
Ahh, I see. Thanks for explaining.
Sorry I missed your question in irc. When I said the LiveCD is 380MB, I
mean the unionfs cd.
lfslivecd-x86-6.1-3.iso - 374MB
lfslivecd-x86-6.2-pre1.iso - 380MB
Thanks.
