SubjectRe: announce: ext2 compression patch
Date
From

Paul Eggert had a paper about an extensible file system (i.e. you can
make "special links" into commands...


It was in a usenix processing a few years ago...I found it interesting...

(i.e. file file foo.gz you can make a special link with the command

zcat foo.gz named foo to get both the compressed and uncompressed file.

I asked him for his work and he said it was prime-time yet...(this was
a few years ago...I can ask him again...)
