New Homepage: http://www.biggerbytes.be/
Description:
An overlay filesystem providing transparant compression with both read and write support. This filesystem sits on top of an existing fs. Fully configurable, different compression algorithms available (lzo, zlib, bzip2). Still young but usable!

LZOlayer_fs - Transparent compression filesystem
Author: kazikcz@gmail.com
Homepage: http://north.one.pl/~kazik/pub/LZOlayer
Description:
LZOlayer_fs is a filesystem which allows you to use compressed files, just as they would be normal files. Read and write operations are possible. Very young, but seems to be stable and pretty usable. Consumes low memory. Supports LZO and ZLIB compression algorithms.
Apretujado Filesystem

Homepage: http://apfs.jrmora.com/ [broken]
Download: http://apfs.jrmora.com/apfs-1.0.tar.gz
A read-write-access filesystem with transparent compression. It works on real block devices. The filesystem format is simple, but compression and speed are enough. The homepage is now in english and spanish.
Cromfs
Author: Joel Yliluoma
Homepage: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/source/cromfs.html
Description:
Cromfs is a compressed read-only filesystem, similar to Cramfs and Squashfs. It uses the lzma compression algorithm.
It splits each file into fixed-size blocks and compresses the blocks together in larger clusters, so that blocks from different files are compressed together for smaller size. Directories, inodes and block lists are also compressed. In some cases, it beats Squashfs by a factor of four in terms of compression power. On the flip side, it is noticeably slower than its peers, and requires more RAM.
fusecloop
Author: Vitaly "_Vi" Shukela <public underscore vi at tut dot by>
Homepage: http://github.com/vi/fusecloop/
Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=204637&package_id=244263
Description:
fusecloop is FUSE mounter for compressed loop images. These images can be found on Knoppix and Knoppix-like images.
squashfuse
Author: Dave Vasilevsky / dave at vasilevsky ca
Homepage: https://github.com/vasi/squashfuse
Description:
Mounts squashfs filesystems, which are commonly used on Linux live-CDs and embedded devices. The Linux kernel includes support for squashfs, but a FUSE implementation is useful for other operating systems, or when root privileges are not available.
fuse-uzip
Author: Dave Vasilevsky / dave at vasilevsky ca
Homepage: https://github.com/vasi/fuse-uzip
Description:
Implements FreeBSD's geom_uzip compressed block devices.
lzopfs
Author: Dave Vasilevsky / dave at vasilevsky ca
Homepage: https://github.com/vasi/lzopfs
Description:
Allows random access reading of gzip, bzip2, lzop or xz files. Depending on the file type, an indexing pass may be needed the first time it is accessed.
