Note the man page for chattr(1):
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
As of Linux 2.2, the `c', 's', and `u' attribute are not
honored by the kernel filesystem code. These attributes
will be implemented in a future ext2 fs version.
c = automatically and transparently compress file's contents
s = overwrite file's contents on deletion
u = save file's contents on deletion (for undeletion)
