[olug] Filesystem Compression

[Andrew Embury]

Is it possible to do compression on any of the major, stable Linux file
systems?  I'm working on a multi-terabyte disk-to-disk backup system and
would like to have on-the-fly compression enabled at the filesystem level.
The best I could find was an unsupported patch for ext2 that never seemed
to be integrated into the kernel.

I'm running RedHat EL ES 3.  Stability is the #1 concern.

Thanks,

Drew
