Looks like this would be an excellent candidate for transparent compression in newer filesystems like btrfs/ZFS. Ill never go back to non-compressed filesystems

Looks like this would be an excellent candidate for transparent compression in newer filesystems like btrfs/ZFS. Ill never go back to non-compressed filesystems for my personal machines -- btrfs w/ LZO compression has been an excellent, efficient, fast FS for me (YMMV -- I dont know that I'd use it in an important production environment).
