What is the likelyhood that linux will provide support for the ability to specify folders or even individual files to be compressed inside the filesystem and decompressed on the fly when opened by any application?
Basically this would behave the same way as in Windoze systems, even letting .zip files (or .gz etc) behave as if they are just folders containing compressed files/folders.
Just some wishfull thinking. Do any of the other filesystems (other than ext4) do this in a native mode, and if so, how can an etx4 be converted?
