First, thanks for responding to my posts. The problems is now solved. It turned out to be, partly, as you suggested: not to pass any options (-9) to gzip for better compression. In addition I had to pass '-O none' to mke2fs. Unfortunatley, it never occured to me to try the two in combination until now because the '-O none' option was rather a stab in the dark on my part. I just tested the rescuedisk with and without this option, together with default gzip compression, just too make sure and it looks like it does the trick.
