hi,

the only one I know of is e2compr, a project discontinued long ago...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2compr/

However this will not work with any journalling filesystem (ext3 etc.)...

Hope that helps?

bye

I found this one too, but it is quite old... and i would prefer something for new kernels (2.6).
Seems hopeless :-|

what about using ntfs with write support? ;o)

hi,

if you want to reinstall windows everytime you write on this partition? just go ahead... :lol:

have a look at the search for "ntfs", quite funny...
