I recommend looking at archived threads about file as directory, you'll find many more arguments. Currently there is one kind of support for archive files - loop mounts over files containing filesystem images. These are not compressed though.
Isn't reiserfs trying to implement such things? I've read that in some next version of reiserfs one will be able to open /etc/passwd/[username] and get the informations about [username], like UID, GID, home directory etc.
It was more that we said we would like to implement the functionality necessary for doing that (e.g. inheritance), not that we would specifically do /etc/passwd. And that functionality will trickle in over time.
Still true? And when can we except such a version of reiserfs?
