A lot of the files being compressed are short-lived so it's typically better to compress faster with LiteFS. Maybe we'll support more compression formats in the future if it's useful. > have you considered it against designs that use built-in features native to some filesystems The ZFS idea is interesting. I targeted FUSE because it seemed like a lower barrier to entry and easier for users to get set up.
