Hello,
I'm trying to find something which could be called 'Compressed File System'
for Unix machines (available in source code form). It should be completely
kernel-independent, i.e. should work on the NFS basis or something like
that.
One good example would be Cryptographic File System (CFS) package written by
Matt Blaze. Instead of encryption, I would like to have the same or similar
thing with on-the-fly transparent file-system compression. Of course, the
crypt feature would be welcome, but it isn't necessary.
Please, post here or reply via E-mail. Thanks,
Kresimir

Anyone know where this is found?

Look for the "double" Linux compressed filesystem. The doc says it
uses disk partitions or files for storage. Try distributions/SLS/c3,
ALPHA/double, or patches/diskdrives.
