Hallo,

we have a clinical system that generate lot of files that once written are never changed. This file consume lot of disk and tape space*, so my idea was to compress this files. The problem is that it can happen, that the users have to open this files later.

Is there a VFS module for samba that show gzipped** read only files as if they were standard files ?


Bye
Andreas

* Disks are cheap, but the are no more disk-slots in the server and the server has to be up 24*7 so we can not simply change the disks

** bzip2 would be preferable because of the better compression, but the orginal size is not stored in the header so I assume it can not be used for this purpose
