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 ?


On top of the fuse modules mentioned a previous link, there are also 3
filesystems under linux that support compression. btrfs, reiser4 and
zfs. All like the fuse modules are considered experimental and I would
avoid reiser4 since the main developer Hans Reiser is in jail.

And ntfs (ntfs-3g)....

Regards
