Hello,

I just converted a server to reiser4 for a big speed gain. Thanks, this
looks really promising.

How can I activate compression on certain parts of the filesystem? (I
digged google for this without finding anything).

Hello.
Reiser4 will support a special kind of regular files - so called 
cryptcompress
objects. Unfortunately this is not for product using for a while, but 
benchmarks
really show a speed gain for some conditions (if cpu is powerful, 
compression
algorithm is fast, and data is compressible).

Thanks,
Edward.
