No, if you want JFFS2 to decompress it, you have to let JFFS2 compress it - by putting the uncompressed version into the filesystem instead of the compressed version. Why do you want to write the compressed version to the filesystem? Just so that you can use gzip -9 and get better compression? -- dwmw2
