Hi

I have a separate lvm for my /usr/share/doc, I would like to have this on a
compressed fs, just recently loaded libgcj-doc which took up ~500Mb for a 45M
deb file mainly text files.

is there a debian way of doing that ?


Alex

Although it relates to encryption, some of the ideas in this document
may you with your disk compression quest. Install
doc-linux-nonfree-text from Sarge and read
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Disk-Encryption-HOWTO.gz

Interesting read and at first I thought this might be a solution, but does
encryption also mean compression ?

What? Don't you want to encrypt all your Java docs? Secret
stuff!!! The DHS might break your door down and take your computer.

Seriously, though: Google has some info on a compressed FUSE. That
may you.

yeah I saw something on a fuse overlay compressed fs, but I thought I would
asked the list about the "proper/debian" way of doing this ?

Fair enough.

You do know that fuse is packaged, right?

yep, this might be my miss understanding but fuse in an infrastructure to allow
you to add different fs into it like the ntfs3g stuff.

I found a read/write compressed fuse fs on I think source forge but I don't
like going down the tar ball route if I can apt-get

Neither do I. However, installing the fuse package is half a loaf,
and that's better than no loaf.
