Just in case anyone was following this thread - I asked this question back in august or september - at the time I settled on using plain old zip, because it was the fastest when it came to extraction. However, I have just recently come across 'cromfs' which I don't think was mentioned back then. cromfs is exactly what I was looking for - high compression ratio, fast random access. It also works fine with automount, which became a requirement (as it is a file system). The only slight drawback is that it, at the moment, requires one instance per filesystem mounted, which in my case makes for a lot of processes.
It is read only - which for me is a roadblock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems # Cromfs is a user-space (FUSE based) read-only filesystem using an efficient LZMA compression algorithm. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
