Greetings,
I would like to thank Stephen, Laslo and Andreas for the links and info about e2compr, but I already knew about the patch. If I understand the patch correcly, it works by setting a permission bit to determine if a file is to be compressed, and if the file is a directory, then all new files are compressed (if I'm wrong, let me know). My intention is to mount a filesystem where everything is compressed, except for the files already compressed. An example would be a directory or file move and having it already compressed without having to set additional bits or remembering to set the compression bit each time I mount a disk. I'm not sure if that helps any.
Ciao
