Message-ID: <1426918358@web.de> (raw)

Hello , 

i`m currently evaluating CogoFS because i know of no other really useable filesystem with transparent compression. (reiser4 not ready, fuse based not ready for production use, too)

Anybody CogoFS and having some "real-world" experience with this filesystem ? ( http://www.shaolinmicro.com/support/doc/cogofs_tech_wp.html )

Would you recommend using it ?

Unfortunately it`s closed source - the vendor is developing quite nice stuff for linux, but it`s understandable that he needs to live from that - so no open source.

is there any good collection of arguments to make a vendor re-think his strategy and open up the source of their application?

from what i`ve seen for now, CogoFS looks really nice and seems to be useable, but availability is limited to certain distros.

regards
roland

ps:
no - this is not a try of advertising CogoFS, i`m completely independent user.
