Hi all!
After some time browsing the net I cannot find any still existing references to a latest version of the compressed loopback device driver that Rusty Russel once did. And since most of Rusty's addresses do not seem valid anymore I would like to ask here if someone knows something about the actual status of compressed loopback drivers for 2.4 kernels (or at least a pointer to older versions).
Or is someone else working on something like this?

The background is that we need a compressed rw filesystem for 2.4 kernels. Jffs2 would be nice but we currently use IDE-flash disks for this project and cannot change :(

Any hints and/or pointers are welcome!
Thanks in advance
CU

Sorry, it was read-only.

Cheers,
