Hello,
ok, a bit later
No need to hurry ;)
both compressed and decompressed data are cached, it means that cryptcompress file requires *(2-R) more memory then usual file (R - compression ratio)
Oh ... thats a drawback. It means the performance advantage compression will do will be destroyed at least partially :-/ However I am sure there are fine reasons to do so (or the current VFS design forces to do so) and I also don't understand the background. I am happy with what I get :-)
What is hardware configuration of your laptop?
Its a Northwood-P4-2.6ghz with a very slow (Hitachy?) drive: "Timing buffered disk reads: 48 MB in 3.08 seconds = 15.59 MB/sec" Thanks a lot for this great FS, lg Clemens Btw. If you send me the setup - this could be seen as support service ;) Would it help Reiser4 development if I pay the 25$ - or is the locked?
