The Reiser4 filesystem supports both ENCRYPTION and compression.
Reiser claims that using compression makes the Reiser4 filesystem some 50% faster than not using it.
However we cannot verify this because Andrew Morton has always arranged than neither encryption nor compression are available in his mm-kernel.
I suggest that someone take control of Reiser4 away from Andrew Morton.
Here are some filesystem benchmarks from <a href="http://linuxhelp.150m.com/" title="150m.com">http://linuxhelp.150m.com/</a 150m.com> that clearly show that Reiser4 is the best filesystem ever developed.
Each test was preformed 5 times and the average value recorded. Disk Usage: The amount of disk used to store the data (which was 3 different copies of the Linux kernel sources). The raw data (without filesystem meta-data, block alignment wastage, etc) was 655MB. Copy 655MB (1): Copy the data over a partition boundary. Copy 655MB (2): Copy the data within a partition. Tar Gzip 655MB: Tar and Gzip the data. Unzip UnTar 655MB: UnGzip and UnTar the data. Del 2.5 Gig: Delete everything just written (about 2.5 Gig).
