It was always somewhat annoying though, particularly when it broke inter-document links, and it was a legacy of older times. Today, it's way past time to drop individual file compression. I mean, we have transparent compression with systems like ZFS, so there's no penalty to pay by half-assing it with gzip.
- bayindirh 6y agoIf Linux was a big-iron only OS, I could happily agree but, this stubborn thing works from Raspberries to mainframes and everything in between. So it's not always possible to run it on a CPU which can drive an ZFS on a multi-disk enclosure. I'd rather have individually compressed files instead of running a heavier FS layer with smaller/less powerful systems.
