Our requirements are : 1- this fs must run on hardware raid (DAC960 Mylex AcceleRAID) 2- the archives files will be read-only for users, but we (administrators) must be able to add files to the archives... Any recomendations ? squashfs doesn't qualify because of 2 ... what about e2compress ? http://www.alizt.com/index.html I've heard about block layer compression... is it applicable for us ? Thanks for your advice... N.
