Which free/open compressed embedded filesystems would that be? Serieus, the other day I read an entire thread on an electronics forum about there not being any of those. (That is why I have completed my own file system, FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 with LFN support, with C interface). Further more that is also what I intended to say. Add a compression attribute to the inode structure in LEAN. And then put the compressed data into the file. Further more, the only reason one would use FAT is that it is compatible with a 1001 number of tools. If you are going to make an incompatible system, at least base it on a more sensible design. That way you also don't have to care about microsoft patents and stuff.
