Semms that I've confirmed that all of my problems with Samba arised because of e2compr. After describing my problem to Alan, I've done what I proposed myself last saturday: I've turned off compression in my home directory and tried to save the file several times without modifications, exactly in the same way I've done to reproduce the problem. Et voil?! I could save the...

...lue about the shrinking of the window size only in the *second time* the file is saved? Also, why in the first save the window size is set to 8760 bytes (the default value of the window size in MS's TCP stack) and is set to 14600 or 30660 in the second save? Could it be related to some bug in e2compr? (This message is being sent to the e2compr list because of obvious reasons.) I'm asking this because I know that you need to build a table to gzip the file on-the-fly, and so this could limit the memory available to the TCP/IP stack of the server in case you're saving big files simultaneou...

Hi I am using rsync for backup on the disks of a Linux backup server. Obviously the server could store more data it the data were compressed. I read the "rsync -> tar" thread. Unfortunately, a compressed file system for Linuthere does not seem to exist yet. However, rsync can use compression for file transfer. Would it be possible to implement an option to store the data on the

Has anyone implemented a "virtual cdrom" facility as offered on windows? That is CD images are cached & compressed on hard disk and shared across a network. See: http://www.winmag.com/library/1996/1196/11r24a.htm I have not found any news of a Unix solution. I would like to offer one on a Linux server to Windows clients. It should not be hard to implement with Samba... Thanks

Hi, i am using Rsync for making backups of a MySQL database. The MySQL files can be compressed about 1:10 and i want to make use of this fact. Rsync currently doesn't support saving files in a compressed state. I personally think this should be a feature for the filesystem (in the sense of "synchronised files") but currently there is no such filesystem for Linux available.
