Hello everyone. I am searching for compressed filesystem for FreeBSD. Why do I need compressed filesystem? I am developer of FreeBSD-based LiveCD, and the main problem of liveCD is loading speed - it's too slow, comparing with Knoppix or other Linux LiveCD. Usage of compressed filesystem will improve software loading speed and allow to put more software to CD. I found info about project "FiST" in freebsd-fs archives, this is almost what I need: ftp://ftp.filesystems.org/pub/fist/fistgen-0.0.7.tar.gz But gzipfs module does not compile in FreeBSD (developers said that size-changing algoritm they used currently works only in Linux) So the question is simple: is there any implementations of compressed filesystems for FreeBSD (even as unofficial projects)? This will help a lot in such projects as FreeBSD-based LiveCD. -- Best regards, [ http://technix.melitopol.zp.ua/ ] Mozhaisky Sergei (techniX) [ http://frenzy.icc.melitopol.net/ ]
