Compression on a per-file basis has never been very succesful (just look at how many windows users use it) because it implies taking a decision for every file on the system. OTOH, volume-level is just a single option to be enabled. I'm of course not arguing that file-level compression shouldn't be possible, im just saying that is way more difficult to administer and that most people (including sysadmins) is most likely to use compression in a per-volume basis. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
