Actually they never got a stackable compression f/s built or working.  I
asked John about his SOSP15 paper.  He told me that they had a low-level
block-style compression prototype instead.

Mine in the only known (so far :-) working stackable compression f/s.  My
templates (Linux only) can do arbitrary size-changing f/s: I have a working
gzipfs, uuencodefs, etc.  See http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ezk/research/fist/
for code and papers.

Cheers,
Erez.
