Filesystem compression

Subject: Filesystem compression
Date: Sunday, December 10, 2006 - 7:26 am

I have come across an ext2 compression project (e2compr.sf.net). I see it is not yet incorporated into the main kernel. Why is it so?

I would also like to know whether there have been any previous efforts to implement filesystem compression at VFS level for the underlying filesystems that can support it. I am interested in implementing this. I am also new to kernel programming. Can I get any suggestions regarding this?

KK
