Did you ever test the compressed filesystem (cloop) for read / write support, or is it read-only?
Well, since the first result for a google search for "cloop" states that "Cloop is a kernel module to add support for filesystem- independent, transparently decompressed, read-only, block devices", I'm guessing the answer is "no"... You can already make transparently decompressed read only block devices with cramfs, squashfs, ziosfs, etc. Looks like I'm still waiting for Reiser4 to actually be stable, so the plugin architecture can be used to implement transparent compression 'n decompression. --Danny, who wants to trust Reiser4, but just can't do that yet
