I'm not sure if the 2.2.12 kernel supports any form of compression by default.  But, I did get e2compr successfully compiled into the Linux kenel.  The patches did not work with the RH 6.0 stock kernel, but it did work with one I download from ftp://ftp.kernel.org  I did have a few kernel panics on creation of files during testing but I'm using this package only for compression of files on a RO fs that resides in flash.  I need to get X in a tight space.  Does the stock kernel support any form of compression?

In reading the man pages on chattr, it seems that a +c will make a file compressed.   Is this true?  Do I need to add the ext2 compression patch to make this happen or does ext2 support some form of compression?

Thanks,
