Description Brandon Captain 2011-01-11 21:01:29 UTC 
compFUSEd is a compressed overlay filesystem for Linux that supports both transparent read and write operations. In other words, it provides transparent compression of your files while storing them on an existing filesystem. You can add compression to your existing filesystem in under 5 minutes. There is no need to reformat, and no kernel patches are required.

Reproducible: Always
