Hi,
recent threads on compression made me think about the algorithms.
Will there be just one compression algorithm for everything,
or many and ways to choose from them?
Will it be possible to, say, write plugins of your own to do
the compression?
Which algorithms are considered for compression?
Best Regards,
Maciej

Hello.
Reiser4 will be able to support all compression and block-ciphering
algorithms,
(even asymmetric ones which inflate data with the keys of max lenght 65K).
Supporting an algorithm means having an appropriate transform plugin.
Most likely
it is a wrapper for the famous GPL code of some ingenious persons ;)
