I think the original question was how to force uncompressed mode,
whether specific to a file or to a whole filesystem, without having to
reboot :)

AFAIK there's no way to do that.


Whoops! Misunderstood the question haha. Yeah, as far as decompressing
just a single file; from what I've read, thats impossible.


Eric, Fajar,
Thanks. Understood.

Yes, it is possible to remove the compress flag from fstab, reboot and even do not do any defragmentation/rebalancing - just re-save the file and it will be saved uncompressed. This works. But only with reboot...
