Reiser FS is a filesystem. It manages files. So it cannot be used on a file. Windows NTFS already has compressed files. Right click a file or directory in exporer, select propeties, then advanced attributes. You can turn on compression there. Don't know how to do it from the command line, though. > >--- Jay Sprenkle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> If you're on Linux read about the Reiser 4 file >> system. >> They found they could compress the entire file >> system on the fly and achieve >> higher performance as well.
