To be honest, I am not sure if this is the good long term approach to deal with this dcfs(7F) limitation. As we found out hitting this problem can generate issues which are not quite obvious they are caused by dcfs(7F) and thus might be not quite straightforward to evaluate/debug. Apparently, we can't always determine in advance which files need to be put on the list until we hit the problem which is manifestation of not having particular file on the list containing entries which are not compressed. I agree with you that this can be considered rather enhancement giving the fact that dcfs(7F) was initially considered to be used in read-only mode (for legacy miniroot), but since microroot is writable, my feeling is it might be better solve that problem on dcfs(7F) level once, rather than maintain special list of files forever. Thank you, Jan
