| |
Can someone please point me to the ext2fs development group as I wish to ask about the compression attribute (check the man page on "chattr"). From what I have seen this is not supported as of 2.1.35 (so I'm a little behind on the latest version).
Does anyone know if files inherit attributes from the parent directory, (ie: mark a directory as comp. and any files created in the directory will automatically be compressed).
I am willing to write the necessary code, I currently have a need for this feature as compiling gcc and g77 on a 100Mb ZIP disk is a bit of a squeeze.
