SubjectCompressed device driver?
Date

I was intersted in a compressed filesystem for Linux and I found this:

It is very old, and adapting it to kernel 2.0.xx seems quite
time-consuming (at least for me), but I'd really like to use it
with the 2.0.xx kernels.

Is anyone working on it? Is anyone insterested in it?
