Hi all, I have a wonder I would like to raise, in the hope that someone has an insight. Knoppix invented a special loopback device called cloop. This is a compressed loopback device, which means that you can connect an standard file system (say, ISO-9660 cdrom), and it will be compressed and

FYI, cloop is being replaced by unionfs. You will not find unionfs in stable distros yet, because it is VERY buggy. But the fact that although it is so buggy, which is an impossible thing in the case of FS, it is preferred over cloop for several betas and pre releases, is very impressive, and
