I think he is referring to a compressed filesystem
and not jsut using tar to compress a directory.
AKA, every time a file is read from that directory,
it is uncompressed and handed out. If it is saved tot he directory, it is
compressed and asaved, btu the end user doesn't know it. He sees the
normal file.

Compression
Not really a Samba question, but do a google on tar+linux and
gzip+linux

Hello,
I know there are
utilities that allow you to use compression for Linux file systems to zip
up files. I was wondering if there is anything that allows you to
specify a share and have everything under that share be compressed. In
Windows you can specify any file, folder or entire tree to be compressed
and any new data that is added will be compressed on the
fly. Is any version of Linux capable of this? If so which ones
and where is the information regarding this.
Thanks in
advance!
