Date: 13 Mar 1994 20:25:01 GMT Organization: Cybernet Systems Lines: 15 Distribution: world Message-ID: <2lvsqt$qu8@nigel.msen.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 192.245.33.3 Is there any work being done on implementing a compressed filesystem for *BSD? Does any standard compressed filesystem exist? I'd hate to see a feature of MS-DOG that didn't exist in *BSD as well. And just reading about AIX's Jornaling Filesytstem capability to increase its partition size dynamically (if I read it right) makes me salivate. BTW- is there any support for AFS in FreeBSD? I have heard of an NFS shim that SGI has which takes care of mapping AFS calls to NFS calls. -Mark Taylor mtaylor@cybernet.com "No funky signature here."
